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:

    ...I feel anxious for the fate of our monarchy, or democracy, or whatever is to take place. I soon get lost in a labyrinth of perplexities; but, whatever occurs, may justice and righteousness be the stability of our times, and order arise out of confusion. Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance.
    Abigail Adams (1744–1818)

    The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
