Sea Island, GA–As the gentle roar of the private jets drowns out the wail of gulls at Sea Island, something exceptional has happened.  The Money Title just got interesting again. 

Long forgotten in the Tiger Woods' headlines of the last 15 years, this time around, the battle between Webb Simpson, late season darling of the PGA Tour, and Luke Donald, world No. 1, is heating up.

The prize: biggest bank account at the end of the season. 

With his finish in the FedEx, Donald was poised to be leading money winner on two tours, a feat that has seemed impossible until this season. No one has ever done it.  Donald had not planned to play any fall series events.  

But Webb Simpson, approximately $69,000 behind Donald, entered the McGladrey Classic on Sea Island.  He fired a first round 63, and the battle was joined.

“I wasn’t sure if I was going to play, but Luke played well all year, and since I started making a run for the money title, it became pretty important to me to win,” Simpson said before the start of the McGladrey Classic. “If you win the money list, you’re probably added to a list of 50 guys.”  

(Actually it’s less than that. Twenty different players have won the award since the PGA Tour was formed in 1968.  It was named after Arnold Palmer in 1981. Included are: Billy Casper, Frank Beard, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Tom Watson, Tom Kite, Craig Stadler, Hal Sutton, Curtis Stsrange, Greg Norman, Corey Pavin, Fred Couples, Nick Price, Tom Lehman, Tiger Woods, David Duval and Vijay Singh.)



 

After Simpson added McGladrey to his schedule, Donald threw his golf glove into the ring earlier today and entered next week’s Children’s Miracle Network Classic in an effort to secure his place in history.
