Woods has been giving his Chevron World Challenge earnings to his Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons since the charity event began in 1999. McLaughlin also revealed that Woods has done the same with money earned from two official PGA Tour events that also benefit the foundation - the Deutsche Bank Championship, which began in 2003; and the AT&T National, which began in 2007. Woods has won the Chevron five times, Deutsche Bank once and the AT&T National once. After his win Sunday at Sherwood, Woods' earnings from all three events are now $12,510,777. That would be enough to put Woods at No. 87 on the PGA Tour's career money list, ahead of Briny Baird, Billy Andrade and Bubba Watson. And that doesn't include the $1 million donation Woods pledged when asked at a news conference this year how long before someone asked about his knee injury; the charity money from the dozen Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup teams on which he has played with Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons; and the $1 million match of general donations to the Earl Woods Scholarship Program. "He's the largest contributor in time and money to the foundation since inception,'' McLaughlin said. "It's huge. If we can get a $1.2 million donation at the end of the year, it gives you the opportunity to have a great end-of-year fundraising in a calendar year, which is great for us.'' Woods birdied the last two holes to win by Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons. The Chevron World Challenge has received rankings points for three straight years, and part of the deal was it had to have a qualifying standard and the two sponsor exemptions had to be among the top 50 in the world. Woods was No. 49 at the deadline. What caused his swift rise as much to do with only playing 27 times in the last two years, giving him the minimum 40 divisor. There will be some slight changes next year for Woods' event at Sherwood, and for the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa, which Lee Westwood won and received 38 ranking points.( Nike - VR Pro Blade Irons) The Official World Golf Ranking board, at its annual meeting in July, approved a modification for tournaments that have fewer than 30 players. Those events will no longer get the ``home tour'' rating component. Those essentially are bonus points that depend on how many players from the host tour are in the event. But it won't make that much of a difference. The ranking of the players at Chevron contributed 215 points, and the home tour allowed for 36 additional points to determine the overall strength of field. That translates to 44 points for the winner. Without the home tour component, the winner would have received 40 points. Instead of No. 21, Woods would have gone to No. 25.
