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 |

—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
“People press toward the light not in order to see better but in order to shine better.—We are happy to regard the one before whom we shine as light.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Nobody, I think, ought to read poetry, or look at pictures or statues, who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed. Their highest merit is suggestiveness.”
