2007 European Tour - Order of Merit

Order of Merit

In 2007, the European Tour's money list was known as the "Order of Merit". It was calculated in euro, although around half of the events had prize funds which were fixed in other currencies, mostly either British pounds or U.S. dollars. In these instances the amounts were converted into euro at the exchange rate for the week that the tournament was played. The top 10 golfers in 2007 were:

Position Player Country Prize money (€)
1 Justin Rose England 2,944,945
2 Ernie Els South Africa 2,496,237
3 Pádraig Harrington Ireland 2,463,742
4 Henrik Stenson Sweden 2,014,841
5 Niclas Fasth Sweden 1,919,339
6 Ángel Cabrera Argentina 1,753,024
7 Andrés Romero Argentina 1,741,707
8 Søren Hansen Denmark 1,692,054
9 Retief Goosen South Africa 1,478,245
10 Lee Westwood England 1,420,327

Note that Tiger Woods earned more money in European Tour events in 2007 than any other golfer, but was not a member of the European Tour so is not eligible for the Order of Merit.

Famous quotes containing the words order of, order and/or merit:

    It is well within the order of things
    That man should listen when his mate sings;
    But the true male never yet walked
    Who liked to listen when his mate talked.
    Anna Wickham (1884–1947)

    It is not enough for theory to describe and analyse, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
