Mark Hubbard carries himself with a down-to-earth persona that’s evident inside and outside the ropes. The 35-year-old Colorado native is one of the more popular players among his peers and has a small-but-loyal fan following on social media with his @HomelessHubbs handle on X. On his PGA Tour profile page it reads: “If not a professional golfer, he would probably just move to Bora Bora, open a tiki bar and disappear off the grid.”
He is a pro golfer, however, and this is his eighth full season on tour. He has missed just one cut (the Scottish Open two weeks ago) in 21 starts in 2024, and the day he claims his first tour title, the victory will be one savored by those who appreciate a journeyman finally achieving a dream.
That day, too, will allow him to remove himself from an infamous if exclusive club he joined on Sunday after finishing T-17 at the Barracuda Championship. By earning $59,000 for his performance, Hubbard became the 251st player to break the $10 million mark in career earnings. However, Hubbard also became the 18th player to earn eight figures on the course without have won a title.
The last player to accomplish the feat was Beau Hossler in January at the Farmers Insurance Open. You can see the complete list of players in “the club” here. Current players include Hossler, Patrick Rodgers, Alex Noren, Cameron Young, Denny McCarthey, Byeong Hun An and Tommy Fleetwood, who is the all-time money leader without a PGA Tour win with $24.03 million.

U.S. Open 2024: Mark Hubbard nearly holes out on Pinehurst’s opening hole, ball ends up off the green
Hubbard has played 222 PGA Tour events in his career, his best showing a runner-up finish at the 2019 Houston Open and two third-place finishes (one this year at the Zurich Classic). This season, he ranks 63rd in the FedEx Cup points list. He’s in the field at this week’s 3M Open trying to make sure he stays inside the top 70 to secure his spot the PGA Tour Playoffs with just two regular-season events to go. Moreover, he’s hoping for a few good finishes that could push him into the top 50 and qualify him for the PGA Tour’s signature events in 2025.
