Harris English knows what it’s like to be at both ends of the golf world.
Aged 36, English joined the tour in 2012 and came on strong, earning roughly $10 million in his first five years.
But from the 2016-17 season through the end of 2019, he failed to make seven figures again. He bounaced back and hit it big with nearly $3.3 million in 2019-20, and then $6.2 million in 2020-21. It helped earn him his first Ryder Cup appearance at Whistling Straits.

But the 2021-22 campaign was one to forget, as he racked up just one top-25 finish in 12 events, missing six cuts and withdrawing from another tournament.
He regained his form in 2023, and has brought in just about $18 million over the last three years, with $8,799,052 of that coming this past season, his most in one year.

In all, it amounts to $40,221,364 for the five-time winner (he’s also had six runner-ups and five third-place finishes).
One of those wins came this year at the Farmers Insurance Open, where he brought home $1.674 million. But it was his runner-up finish at the Open Championship where he brought in his biggest prize of $1.759 million.

English finished T13 at the Tour Championship, his best finish for the FedEx Cup since the 2019-20 season, and his play the last couple of years earned him an automatic bid into Bethpage Black.
