Fleetwood has to be real cheese because he is the permanent bridesmaid of golf. Of course, he can’t go through his entire career, is it just a favorite of the crowd?
His pursuit of the PGA Tour once again failed again on the weekend, although Fleetwood missed a shot in the playoffs to join JJ Spaun and ultimate St. Jude champion Justin Rose at the start of the final day.
“I’m very close, and that’s a good side,” Fleetwood said. “I managed to get myself ahead in the last nine games, played some really good golf and performed well.
“Justin and JJ did a great job there, and I didn’t do enough.
“I’m obviously disappointed. I’ve got a chance to be there, and it’s hard.”
Once Fleetwood overcomes the soreness of ending the winner’s podium, he can cheer up by pursuing his bank account.
Here we look at the wealthiest golfers on the tour who still haven’t picked up the PGA championship.
Top 12 PGA golfers have no career wins
1. TommyFleetwood (UK) – Career Income $32,520,669
After St. Jude’s disappointment, the friendly Messider now finished six top five in the year’s top five, with 29 on the U.S. Tour, making him an all-time leading medal without a PGA Tour title.
His best performance in the profession was the runner-up at the 2018 U.S. Open and 2019 Open. He even won the silver medal at the Olympics in 2024.
2. Byeong -Hun An (Korea) – $21,133,612
At the age of 17, he became the youngest American amateur champion ever, winning in Southern Hills but continuing to lose his PGA Tour card in 2021.
In 2024, he finished second in the Sony Open in Hawaii and lost a three-man playoff playoff, where he exploded on the spot.
The Korean won the 2015 BMW PGA Championship in the DP World Tour and the 2024 Genesis Championship, and his best result in professionals is the 13-leading 2024.
3. DennyMcCarthy (USA) – $21,171,359
It’s one of the best putts on the tour, but still can’t name him as the winner’s board, he’s closest to shaving at the 2023 Memorial Championships.
He maintained a shot leading on the 72nd hole, but the missed fairway succeeded from the tee, and his putt failed him and Viktor Hovland went on to win the playoffs.
Ranked fifth in the Genesis Invitational is his closest to the season, but when the 10 top 25 games ended, he was on the right path.
4. Patrick Rogers (USA) – $18,027,632
The former Ben Hogan Award winner Patrick Rodgers has spent a lot of early careers at the top of the rankings and has scored more than 50 top 25, helping him increase his wallet.
He finished second in the 2015 Wells Fargo Championships and finished second in the 2017 John Deere Classic.
Rodgers is third in the Genesis Invitational this year, and his first victory is not far from here.
5. CameronTringale (USA) – $17,310,004
Tringale led the chart between 2021 and 2023, but in 338 PGA races and four runner-ups, he jumped the boat to Liv Golf in 2022.
The 2021 Zozo Championship is his closest to lifting the trophy, but the indifferent ending puts him second.
6. AlexNoren (Sweden) – $17,457,441
The Swedes tear it apart with ten wins on the DP World Tour, but the win turning to PGA isn’t that kind.
He finished second in the third time, and his closest call was losing the playoffs with Jason Day and Ryan Palmer at the end of the 2018 Farmers Insurance Open.
7. BeauHossler (USA) – $13,778,380
When Hossler appeared in amateurs at the 2012 US Open, a rising teenage star hasn’t managed to reach the heights everyone expected.
His most notable near-turnover was at the 2018 Houston Open, where he led the final hole but eventually lost to Ian Poulter in the playoffs and Kevin Yu in the 2014 Sanderson Farm Championship.
He finished second in the Tour four times but only ranked in the top ten this season, tied for fourth in the Barracuda Championship.
8. BrianDavis (UK) – $13,382,405
Now, British golfer Brian Davis has won the PGA Tour in pain several times on the Championship Tour.
His most memorable near-turnover was at the 2010 Verizon legacy, where he hit two sprints against himself during the playoffs with Jim Furyk. His honesty made himself win.
He also finished second in the 2007 Valerrot Texas Open and the 2009 HP Byron Nelson Championship, and won multiple top ten.
9. BrinyBaird (USA) – $13,251,178
Miami-born golfer spent a long time in his career in the 2000s.
He finished second for six times, most recently at the 2013 McGladrey Classic, and then an injury stopped his career.
Baird told CNN: “I would rather be the one who doesn’t win than the guy who wins the least amount of money! A statistic can only be as bad as you want it.”
10. AdamSchenk (USA) – $12,514,664
Schenk is close to his first PGA Tour title in the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge but lost to Argentina Emiliano Grillo in the playoffs.
He also finished second in the 2023 Valspar Championship, leading the way after the third round but ended up second after Taylor Moore.
11. MarkHubbard (USA) – $12,344,225
Hubbard had only one runner-up under his belt and tied for second in the Houston Open.
The third place in the Wyndham Championship this season and fifth in the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, is two of the three top ten in 2025 and seven of the top 25.
12. JeffOverton (USA) – $12,790,635
Overton seemed to have reached the pinnacle of his career in the 2010s. He ended the season with three runner-ups, one-third and 11th place finishing, the best major he has ever had.
Overton won a spot on the Ryder Cup team in 2010, but his career has since declined. From 2011 to 2015, he won only 14 top ten in 133 events.
In 2016, he lost his PGA Tour game form after 11 consecutive seasons, and the top ten of the season didn’t help.
A year later, he spent a year in the hospital with a “life-threatening infection” before slowly returning to the golf course, occasionally appearing at PGA, DP World and Korn Ferry Tours and Liv golf promotions.
