The championships are piling up for Scottie Scheffler at an astronomical pace, and as available space in his trophy room shrinks, the PGA Tour superstar’s bank account continues to grow.
Scheffler is in the midst of an all-time great run of golf in a period of the sport where there’s never been more money up for grabs. That’s why he enters the Tour Championship third on the all-time money list behind Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy despite being 29 years old.
A big reason for that has been a historic 2025 season in which Scheffler has five wins, a runner-up and 15 top-10s. He’s made just under $47 million in on-course earnings alone — and that’s before the Tour Championship where there’s $10 million for the winner in a 30-man field.
How Scottie Scheffler Has Made His Money
That $47 million figure is impressive on its own, but it becomes even harder to comprehend when you break it all down.
Scheffler has five wins on the season: Byron Nelson, Memorial, PGA Championship, Open Championship and the BMW Championship. For those tournaments alone, four of which are signature or playoff events, he made a whopping $15.9 million.
On top of that, he made at least $1 million each in three other tournaments he didn’t win: the Genesis ($1.2 million), the Masters ($1 million) and the FedEx St. Jude Championship ($1.16 million).
Then, obviously, you factor in a bunch of other top-10s and top-5s (like a ho-hum $845,500 for a second-place finish at the Houston Open), and you get to a grand total of $23,962,883 in on-course tournament earnings.
However, there’s more. The PGA Tour made a major change to the format of the FedEx Cup playoffs and Tour Championship midway through the 2025 season. The Tour eliminated starting strokes at the final event of the season, and with that, it also reworked how it distributed playoff money.
A year ago, Scheffler took down a cool $25 million for winning the Tour Championship. This year, the winner gets $10 million. But that money didn’t disappear. It was reallocated in other events. The top 10 players going into the playoffs split $20 million — with $10 million going to the No. 1 player in the standings, Scheffler. Another split of about $23 million happened after the BMW Championship with $5 million of that going to Scheffler.
And if that’s not enough, there’s the Comcast Business Top 10 list to reward the best players for the regular season. Scheffler obviously won that, too, and deposited another check of $8 million.
Scheffler Chases Tiger, Rory on All-Time List
Put another way: Since the regular season has ended, Scheffler has made another $23 million on top of whatever he won for the playoff events.
From a financial standpoint, there’s potential history on the line at the Tour Championship. Scheffler, McIlroy, and to an extent, Justin Rose, have a chance to put a sizable dent in Woods’ lead on the all-time money list.
Here’s where it stands entering East Lake:
1. Tiger Woods: $120,999,166
2. Rory McIlroy: $107,586,766
3. Scottie Scheffler: $95,756,470
4. Justin Rose: $73,313,517
Woods can’t be caught by McIlroy or Scheffler, but a win for either would certainly tighten things up at the top. Assuming there’s no storybook late-career comeback in the works for Woods, both McIlroy and Scheffler should pass him at some point in 2026, and with the way he’s stacking bills, there’s an outside chance Scheffler is No. 1 by the end of next season.
