In 1991, Corey Pavin won the money title with $979,430.
In 2014, that would have been good enough for 99th place.
I was interested in seeing something visual to correlate the idea of Woods having that much of an impact on the sport. So, I put this graph together to illustrate it.
I used the $1 million mark as my gauge. The points represent the place on the money list that the last person to earn $1m finished. I believe this is linked to the amount of money being pumped into the tour by sponsors in the form of total purses. Of course it also illustrates the insane amount of talent funneling into the tour. I also added a few critical moments in time.
Of course you can read into it what you want, but when the "curve" is this blatantly obvious, it's hard to deny Woods' impact on the game.
Now, having said all that, GO PHIL!!
