Former PGA Tour champion offers Rick Fehr a steak dinner to settle their career earnings difference

Brandel Chamblee offered to buy two-time PGA Tour winner Rick Fehr dinner at a popular steakhouse chain to settle their all-time career earnings difference, in a humorous exchange between the two. Both Fehr and Chamblee enjoyed a decent career on the PGA Tour. While Chamblee later switched careers and got into broadcasting, Fehr retired from the game.

Recently, Fehr reacted to a fan's post on X (formerly Twitter) which talked about the points Klay Thompson needed to reach Detlef Schrempf in all-time scores in the NBA. The post read,

"Game data: Klay Thompson @KlayThompson needs 5 points today to reach Detlef Schrempf @Dschrempf in 129th place all time with 15761"

Rick Fehr made a joking comment on this post about the difference in his all-time career earnings compared to Brandel Chamblee. He wrote:

"Forever trailing @chambleebrandel by $171 on the @PGATOUR Career Money List might be worse…😉"

Chamblee then reacted to Fehr's comment, saying,

"I’ll buy you a steak at Ruth’s Chris and call it even next time I see you."

Brandel Chamblee is ranked 385th in the all-time career earnings with $4,018,410 while Fehr is ranked 386 with $4,018,239. Tiger Woods leads the all-time career money list with earnings of $120,999,166, followed by Rory McIlroy with $90,989,348.
