NORTON, Mass. (AP) -- Tiger Woods has become the first $100 million man on the PGA Tour.

Woods finished third in the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday to earn $544,000 and push his career total to $100,350,700. Next on the list is Phil Mickelson -- more than $30 million behind at $66,805,498 after finishing fourth at the TPC Boston.

Wood says "the purse increase helps." He points out that he won fewer tournaments than Sam Snead.

Snead, the career leader with 82 PGA Tour victories, earned just $620,126 in a career that started in 1937. His biggest prize was $28,000 for a second-place finish in Milwaukee in 1968.
