Money earned is an official stat published and produced by the PGA Tour, and no one has been better than Arizona State over the past four seasons. The Sun Devils have earned $70,080,324 in the past four seasons, with Georgia second at $64,614,342.

But it isn't just how much but how that is impressive. Sun Devils who played in the 1980s (Phil Mickelson), 1990s (Paul Casey, Pat Perez and Phil Mickelson), 2000s (Chez Reavie) and 2010s (Jon Rahm) are all part of the mix.

The 2019-20 shortened season ended a three-year run by ASU as the top earning school. Its $12,697,872 was second to Georgia. Jon Rahm racked up nearly $6 million in just 15 events, while four other Sun Devils earned more than a million.
