After three additions to the European Senior Tour ‘Millionaires’ Club’ already this season, Argentine Luis Carbonetti has a chance at the MCB Tour Championship to become the 20th player to pass the €1,000,000 barrier in career earnings.
Carbonetti, who is in his 14th season on the Senior Tour, has amassed €975,644, meaning a top four finish in Mauritius next month would be enough to join the illustrious group.
So far this season, Germany’s Bernhard Langer, Englishman David J Russell and Spaniard Juan Quiros have all passed the milestone, Quiros doing so courtesy of a share of 11th place at the English Senior Open in October.
Englishman Carl Mason, the most prolific winner in Senior Tour history with 25 titles, continues to lead the way at the top of the money list having this season become the first player to pass the €2.5million mark.
Mason is nearly €1,000,000 clear of the next player on the all-time money list, compatriot Nick Job, who has career earnings on the Senior Tour of €1,564,935.
Former Ryder Cup Captain Sam Torrance (€1,534,578) and five-time Senior Tour Order of Merit winner Tommy Horton (€1,527,506) are the only other players to have reached the €1,500,000 mark so far, Torrance joining Job in achieving the feat during the 2013 season.
With six players having passed the €900,000 mark to date, former World Number One Ian Woosnam (€934,099) is among the group of players who will be targeting the €1,000,000 milestone in 2014.
Further back on the list, Englishman Barry Lane (€744, 610) could pass the €750,000 mark, while Australian Mike Harwood, the 2010 Rookie of the Year, broke through €500,000 earlier this season.
