Order of Merit
In 2006, the European Tour's money list was known as the "Order of Merit". It was calculated in euro, although around half of the events had prize funds which were fixed in other currencies, mostly either British pounds or U.S. dollars. In these instances the amounts were converted into euro at the exchange rate for the week that the tournament was played. The top 10 golfers in 2006 were:
| Position | Player | Country | Prize money (€) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Pádraig Harrington | Ireland | 2,489,337 |
| 2. | Paul Casey | England | 2,454,084 |
| 3. | David Howell | England | 2,321,116 |
| 4. | Robert Karlsson | Sweden | 2,044,936 |
| 5. | Ernie Els | South Africa | 1,716,208 |
| 6. | Henrik Stenson | Sweden | 1,709,359 |
| 7. | Luke Donald | England | 1,658,060 |
| 8. | Ian Poulter | England | 1,589,070 |
| 9. | Colin Montgomerie | Scotland | 1,534,748 |

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or merit:
“In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“Hereditary property sophisticates the mind, and the unfortunate victims to it ... swathed from their birth, seldom exert the locomotive faculty of body or mind; and, thus viewing every thing through one medium, and that a false one, they are unable to discern in what true merit and happiness consist.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
