The Memorial saw Scheffler take home his fifth PGA Tour win of the year, now how much did he and the rest of the players make?
Scottie Scheffler defeated Collin Morikawa on Sunday at The Memorial for his fifth PGA Tour victory of the season.
With that win, his bank account will see another $4 million added to it. The World No. 1 golfer took home a one-shot victory at Muirfield Village and earned that distinctive handshake from Jack Nicklaus himself.
The former Texas Longhorn has won $24,024,553 this season, setting the single-season record for most money won in a season for the third time, per the PGA Tour website. He set the record in 2021-22 at $14,046,910 and once again last year at $21,014,342) The season is not even halfway over, and Scheffler is already at the $24 million mark.
That is over $12 million more than Xander Schauffele who sits No. 2 on the money list. On the season, the 2024 PGA Championship winner has earned $11,597,071.
Schauffele finished T8 this week at Jack’s Place, collecting $579,000. Adam Hadwin did not win, but he did take home $1,400,00 for solo third place. Christian Bezuidenthout was the fourth PGA Tour player to win seven figures on Sunday as he earned $1,000,000.
