00:01There's more to golf than the glory of sinking a winning putt.
00:04Golfers put in plenty of practice and can earn crazy sums of prize money.
00:08Here are five players who get the most green out of golf.
00:17Nicknamed the Big Easy and hailing from South Africa,
00:19Ernie Els began the game early and won the World Junior Golf Championship at just 13 years old.
00:25With 19 PGA Tour victories under his belt, Els has been able to rake in more than $48 million.
00:32Jim Furyk has a nickname of his own too, Mr. 58.
00:36In 2016, Furyk made PGA Tour history by being the first to shoot an impressive round of 58.
00:42After 17 PGA Tour victories, Furyk has managed to earn more than $67 million.
00:48Born in Fiji, Vijay Singh climbed all the way up to number one in the world rankings in 2004.
00:54He has won 58 tournaments in the entirety of his career, which includes 34 PGA Tour wins.
01:00Singh's stellar performance has made him more than $70 million.
01:03Phil Lefty Mickelson won the PGA Tour's Northern Telecom Open as an amateur when he was only 20 years old and turned pro in 1992.
01:11Mickelson has been one of golf's biggest stars for years and has grossed more than an incredible $83 million throughout his career.
01:19That leaves us with the one and only Tiger Woods.
