Scottie Scheffler confirmed his status at the world’s number one golfer after winning the Travelers Tournament on June 23, 2024 yet East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta has been the most recent site to witness his talent, with him sitting atop the leaderboard of the TOUR Championship 2024.
Until today, this year Scheffler has become a father, gone to jail and won The Memorial Tournament, RBC Heritage, The Players Championship, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Travelers Championship and the Masters Tournament.
He played well under challenging conditions at the 2024 British Open, but wasn’t able to get hot with his putter on Saturday and Sunday. His T7 earned him $613,677.
How much has Scheffler earned in 2024?
Scheffler is the world’s No. 1 for a reason and he proved that once again at the Memorial Tournament the week before the US Open. Besides lifting the prestigious trophy, he earned an important sum of money.
The 27-year-old talent received a $3.6 million cash prize at the Travelers Championship. His earning this year are already over $28 million for the 2024 season on the PGA Tour.
His recent outings have brought his career earnings total to over $70 million.
But now, having taken home the title at the TOUR Championship, he is now the winner of the biggest ever prize in golf: with the winner pocketing $25 million of the $100 million prize purse, double the amount on offer to the runner-up ($12.5 million).
Scheffler has made his caddie a millionaire
A very graphic way to show how impressive Scheffler’s 2024 earnings are is to take a look at how much his caddy Ted Scott is making on the PGA Tour this term.
It has been a prolific year for Scheffler, but also for his caddy. Caddies usually earn 10 percent of a player’s winning prize money so, in that case, Scheffler’s recent victories had seen Scott earn nearly $2.8 million in the last six months. Now, it’s a lot more.
