Ryan Gerard is making headlines on the PGA Tour by leading the earnings list, despite not having any tournament wins this season. The former University of North Carolina standout, currently residing in Jupiter, Florida, continues to perform consistently, notably finishing tied for 11th at the Farmers Insurance Open on February 1.
Gerard’s Earnings and Performance
At the Farmers Insurance Open, held at Torrey Pines Golf Club in La Jolla, California, Gerard secured a substantial payout of $193,028. This boost helped him reach a season total of $1,801,328, placing him at the top of the money list by a narrow margin of $31,328 over Chris Gotterup. Gerard’s accomplishments so far this season include:
- 2nd Place at the Sony Open
- Tied for 2nd at The American Express
- Tied for 11th at the Farmers Insurance Open
Close Competition
While Gerard remains atop the earnings chart, competition is fierce. Chris Gotterup, who won the Sony Open, follows closely with $1,770,000 in earnings after finishing tied for 18th at Torrey Pines. Justin Rose, the recent winner at the Farmers Insurance Open, stands in third with $1,728,000.

Upcoming Challenges
Gerard’s lead may be short-lived, as he is not participating in the upcoming WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.
