Jeeno Thitikul’s $6 million season in 2024 was more than all but 14 PGA Tour golfers

Jeeno Thitikul was the LPGA’s money winner in 2024 after earning more than $6 million in on-course earnings. A big chunk of that came in the form of the $4 million check she collected for winning the season finale at the CME Group Tour Championship.

She played in 17 events and won twice. She also posted 12 top-10s in 2024.

Scottie Scheffler led the PGA Tour’s money list this year with a whopping $29,228,357. Seven wins, many of them in the signature tour events with huge purses, explains his monster haul.

It is, of course, apples-to-oranges when comparing money on the two tours, especially with the last few years of major increases on the PGA Tour.

Still, it’s kinda fun to dig a little into the numbers.

Where would Jeeno Thitikul rank in PGA Tour money?

Thitikul’s official haul in 2024 was $6,059,309.

That would place her 15th on the PGA Tour’s 2024 money list:

• $1,827 behind Chris Kirk’s $6,061,136

• $187,666 ahead of Byeong Hun An’s $5,871,643

Her haul was better than a slew of notable names on the PGA Tour:

How many PGA Tour winners in 2024 earned less?

There were 27 PGA Tour winners in 2024 who made less than Thitikil, including three who won twice (although we must put an asterisk next to Nick Dunlap’s name because he couldn’t collect a paycheck for winning The American Express because he was still an amateur).

In 64 career events, Thitikul has earned $9,791,070 in on-course money, a number that ranks her 27th on the LPGA’s all-time list. All 26 in front of her have gone over the $10 million mark.

Brittany Lincicome, right behind her with $9,769,013, just made her 400th – and final event – as she has announced her retirement.
