23 European Tour Golfers Who’ve Earned $20 Million (or More) During Career

Since 1984, 23 European Tour members have earned at least $20 million in their careers on tour. The all-time money winner is 48-year old Lee Westwood who has earned over $45 million, closely followed by Rory McIlroy who’s deposited about $44.5 million. Westwood and McIlroy are the only two with earnings over $40 million.

There’s about a $8 million falloff after that, with Sergio Garcia having racked up nearly $37 million in cash.

Henrik Stenson ($34M) and Justin Rose ($33M) round out the top-five check cashers of all time on the Euro Tour.

England leads the way with nine (9) players on the list with South Africa (4) and Northern Ireland (3) rounding out the top-three nationalities.

Spain (2) and Sweden (2) also have multiple players who have earned at least $20 mil with Denmark, Germany and Italy checking in with one each.

The Tour’s greatest player, Seve Ballesteros , is ranked 110th with deposits totalling $8,039,070.

Proving how great the money has exploded, even on the European Tour, Francesco Molinari is ranked 11th on the list with over $26 million in earnings, despite just five (5!) career wins – or 45 LESS than Ballesteros, the all-time win leader with 50.

2023 LEGENDS TOUR: BIGGER PRIZE FUNDS WITH NEW VENUES IN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND

• Golfing World

The Legends Tour will continue to build on its star quality with a global 2023 schedule which features exciting debuts for two stunning links venues, in Scotland and in Ireland, and increased prize funds across the board for many of the game’s most decorated players.

The 2023 season will feature at least 18 tournaments with a record-breaking prize fund – with final numbers set to be released shortly – which will be a significant increase on the 2022 campaign.

Among the exciting developments for 2023 is the news that the spectacular Trump International Golf Links Aberdeen will host the Tour for the first time when the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship is played from August 24-27.

The Scottish venue is joined on the schedule by another breath-taking links newcomer, with Seapoint Golf Links – a rising star in the ranks of Irish links courses and located on the East coast, just an hour north of Dublin – set to host a major international professional event for the first time from June 23-25 when the Irish Legends comes to town.

The JCB Championship will return from August 3-5 after a glorious debut in 2022, when a host of superstars including Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Darren Clarke and Paul Lawrie descended upon the spectacular Uttoxeter venue, with Germany’s Alex Cejka finishing two shots clear of Ireland’s Paul McGinley to lift the title.

Among the other returning highlights on the new-look schedule are July’s Swiss Seniors Open at Golf Club Bad Ragaz, the WINSTONgolf Senior Open in Germany in September, the Italian Senior Open in October and November’s Farmfoods European Senior Masters in Spain.

A new English event, the Legends Players Championship, will be held for the first time in 2023, joining the JCB Championship and the Jersey Legends in a triumvirate of confirmed England-based tournaments.

Major glory may be on the cards for the biggest stars of the Legends Tour, with the Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex visiting Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in 2023, while the KitchenAid US PGA Senior Championship will be played at PGA Frisco, Texas and the US Senior Open will take place at Wisconsin’s SentryWorld Golf Course.

The Tour will once again close with the MCB Tour Championship Mauritius, which has provided a fitting finale to the popular competition for more than a decade. At the 2022 edition of the event, staged in December, South African James Kingston lifted the John Jacobs Trophy as the Order of Merit leader despite an impressive display by tournament winner Thomas Bjørn.

Many golfers hoping to make their mark on the Legends Tour in 2023 will have to first prove themselves at the Tour’s Qualifying School this month, which returns for the first time in three years. The venue for the high-stakes event will be Gloria Golf Resort in Belek, Turkey, where players will battle it out to earn one of five spots on the Tour.

Phil Harrison, Legends Tour CEO, said: “Since rebranding as the Legends Tour in 2020, our central ambition has been to keep growing, and this 2023 schedule is another incredibly exciting step forward in the evolution of our Tour.

“We have some stunning new venues to add to the long list of world-class golf courses which we visit on an annual basis. We are thrilled that, for the first time, our players will compete on two spectacular links venues in Trump International and Seapoint, while the addition of the English Masters means another big event for the famously passionate British golf fans.

“We extend our thanks to all of our host venues, sponsors and partners for being part of this journey and we look forward to welcoming them back in 2023 for what is set to be an exhilarating season for our players, our celebrities and our fans.”

The Legends Tour is the brainchild of entrepreneur Ryan Howsam, who bought a majority stake in the then-named European Senior Tour and set about rebranding the Tour in 2020. A prestigious competition featuring some of golf’s finest players aged 50 and over, the reimagined Legends Tour became a fan favourite and promises to be better than ever in 2023.

This European Country Gives Retirees Discounted Vacations

By Jessica Puckett

When it comes to retirement, many people envision spending their golden years traveling the world . Those aspirations, however, involve a lot of money, effort, and planning to execute.

But did you know there’s a country that will actually take care of the majority of travel costs and logistics for its retirees to vacation? Spain, a country that consistently ranks among the best places in the world to retire , is the first country in the EU to give certain senior citizens and residents access to greatly subsidized getaways, with expenses like transportation, meals, and hotels included.

The program is run by Spain’s Institute for Seniors and Social Services (IMSERSO), which calls the concept “social tourism.” The gist is that investing in travel for seniors will help improve their health and keep them active and engaged. "The IMSERSO tourism program contributes to active aging and the promotion of an active lifestyle, while favoring intergenerational solidarity, generating employment and economic activity, and favoring inter-territorial solidarity through travel between different regions,” an IMSERSO spokesperson told EuroNews in February.

The discounted trips are available each year in the “ shoulder season ” from October through June. For the 2023-2024 season, the Spanish government made 886,269 places available for retirees in the social tourism program—that’s 70,000 more spots than the previous year. Prices for these vacation packages range anywhere from 124 euros to 435 euros, depending on the destination, length of the trip, and whether transportation is included.

Here’s everything you need to know about the program, including how American expats can apply.

What type of travel is subsidized?

The types of trips range from four-day city break, five-day “nature tourism” trips that focus on exploring the natural areas of a particular region, or six-day culture circuits that explore several towns in a particular region. There are also longer vacations of eight to ten days in several regions along Spain’s coasts or in its islands in the Atlantic Ocean or Balearic Sea.

What destinations are included?

Destinations covered by the program include towns and cities throughout popular regions of Spain, including Andalusia, Catalonia, and Valencia. Pay a visit to Granada, the capital of Flamenco dancing , relax in the quiet beach town of Castellón, or soak up the culture and energy of Barcelona .

Among the nature-focused itineraries are jaunts through numerous striking areas like Asturias, an autonomous region on Spain’s northwest coast known for its breathtaking land formations, including dramatic seaside cliffs and jagged mountains rising out of green hillsides. Or choose to visit Aragon, a region that sits in the Pyrenees mountains and is home to Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

For the longer trips, vacation hubs like the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands—home to iconic sunny destinations like Ibiza and Mallorca —are also on the table.

What costs are covered?

The program generally covers accommodations and meals, as well as insurance plans and sightseeing costs, however, some of the inclusions vary based on the trip package. For many of the packages, travelers can choose whether they’d like to include transportation to and from their destinations.

Spain's IMSERSO tourism program allows seniors to receive discounted trips to destinations like Barcelona and Granada.

Who is eligible?

According to a release from Spain’s Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030, to participate in the program you must be a legal resident of Spain. For expat retirees, the most common way to receive Spanish residency status is to apply for a non-working residence visa through the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or to make a real estate investment of at least €500,000, which qualifies you for a “golden visa".

In addition to being a legal resident, you must be at least one of the following:

1. A retiree who receives a pension from the Spanish Social Security system

2. A person 55 years of age or older who receives a widow's pension from the Spanish Social Security

3. A person 60 years of age or older who receives unemployment benefits or other subsidies from the Spanish Social Security system

4. A person 65 years of age or older who is insured or a beneficiary of the Spanish Social Security system

The site also stipulates that Spaniards who are residing abroad may also be eligible as long as they meet the above requirements or are pensioners of the public social security systems of the country or countries to which they have emigrated.

When evaluating who is accepted into the program, officials consider other factors like age, disability status, financial situation, and whether they’ve participated in a discounted trip before. Those who are older, lower income, or haven’t traveled on a social tourism trip are given priority.

Additionally, eligible retirees that are granted the discounted trips can bring along a spouse or partner, or a disabled child, even if they don’t meet the eligibility requirements.

How do you apply?

First-time applicants or new retirees can submit an electronic application on IMSERSO’s site. They can also print the application and mail it to: Imserso Tourism Program, post office box 10.140, 28080 Madrid. The application window for the 2023-2024 season has already closed, but it will likely open for the 2024-2025 travel season beginning in June.

Retirees who have participated in the program receive a letter in the mail with all the information they need to request a new trip.

Once accepted into the program, participants can request their ideal discounted trips using their program ID card on the program’s official travel site— turismosocial.com —when the booking window opens in October. Then it’s just a few short clicks to scoring a subsidized vacation and enjoying your Golden Years to the fullest.
