Gary Woodland earned $1.782 million for his victory at the Texas Children's Houston Open, vaulting him from 116th to 26th on the PGA Tour money list. Nicolai Hojgaard also made a big jump, moving from 35th to 17th. However, Jacob Bridgeman remains the overall money leader with over $6.5 million in earnings so far this season.

Why it matters

The PGA Tour money list is a key indicator of player performance and earning power. Woodland's big payday shows he is still a force on tour, while Bridgeman's continued dominance highlights his consistency and ability to win big events.

The details

Woodland earned $1.782 million for his five-shot victory at the Memorial Park Golf Club, shooting him up 90 spots on the money list. He now has $1.982 million in earnings this season. Nicolai Hojgaard's $1.079 million check for his performance pushed him from 35th to 17th on the money list, crossing the $2 million mark. The top 8 spots on the money list, led by Bridgeman's $6.564 million, remained unchanged. However, with 24 of the top-50 earners and 13 of the top 30 playing in this week's Valero Texas Open, more movement is expected, especially with Collin Morikawa, Sepp Straka, and Ludvig Åberg in the field.

• Woodland's victory occurred on March 29, 2026.
• The Valero Texas Open is happening this week.

What’s next

The Valero Texas Open this week could see significant movement on the PGA Tour money list, with 24 of the top-50 earners and 13 of the top 30 players in the field. Collin Morikawa, currently 5th on the money list, has a chance to catch and pass Jacob Bridgeman for the top spot with a win.
