Scottie Scheffler Breaks PGA Tour Earnings Record Again with Memorial Win

Scottie Scheffler’s Unstoppable 2024 Season

Scottie Scheffler continued his remarkable rise in the world of golf by breaking yet another PGA Tour earnings record with his latest triumph at the Memorial Tournament. The 27-year-old world No. 1 has had an extraordinary start to the 2024 season, securing victories at both The Masters and The Players Championship.

 

Scheffler’s latest win at the Memorial Tournament added another $4 million to his earnings, bringing his total for the year to an unprecedented $24,024,553. This follows his record-setting earnings in 2022 ($14,046,910) and 2023 ($21,014,342). His consistent performance has seen him win five of his last eight tournaments, including the RBC Heritage and Arnold Palmer Invitational.

 

Scheffler’s dominance is highlighted by his consistent top-10 finishes, having only placed outside the top 10 once this season. His closest competitors, Rory McIlroy ($7,712,665) and Collin Morikawa ($6,757,882), have earned less than a third of Scheffler’s total for 2024.

 

Remarkably, at just 27 years old, Scheffler has climbed from ninth to seventh on the PGA Tour’s all-time money list, with career earnings totaling $66,589,782. His relentless pursuit of excellence and remarkable consistency on the course have set him apart from his peers.

 

Scheffler’s win at the Memorial Tournament was particularly poignant as it marked his first victory since becoming a father. He was greeted on the 18th green by his wife Meredith and their baby son Bennett, creating an emotional and memorable moment. Meredith handed Bennett to Scheffler, expressing her pride: “We are so proud of you! So proud of you! Say ‘way to go Daddy, I love you!’ I’m so proud of you!”

 

This victory also comes after Scheffler faced unexpected challenges earlier in the season, including a shocking arrest at the PGA Championship in May. The charges were subsequently dropped, and Scheffler has demonstrated remarkable resilience, bouncing back to secure this sig

nificant win.
