KAPALUA, Hawaii –
Rory McIlroy is atop the world money list published each year in the ''Year in Professional Golf,'' the comprehensive golf annual that was started by IMG founder Mark McCormack.

McIlroy's five wins included the
PGA Championship and two FedEx Cup playoff events. He finished with $11,301,228.
Justin Rose was No. 2 with $7,897,818, even though he won only once on the PGA Tour at the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral. Rose also won the Turkish Airways World Golf Final, the medal-match exhibition that attracted a world-class field of eight players. Rose beat
Lee Westwood in the final match to earn $1.5 million.
Tiger Woods, with three wins, was at No. 3 with $7,388,061. He was followed by
Luke Donald(three wins) and
Louis Oosthuizen (two wins).
Rounding out the top 10 were
Jason Dufner,
Brandt Snedeker, Westwood,
Bubba Watson and
Keegan Bradley. Watson (Masters) and Bradley (WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) were the only players in the top 10 who had only one win last year.
