How much money has Scottie Scheffler earned so far on the PGA Tour in 2024?
The world No. 1 has had a profitable year on and off the course in 2024. Let’s take a look at how much he has won this season.
Scottie Scheffler has been world No. 1 for 116 weeks. He has dominated the PGA Tour in 2024 with only Xander Schauffele coming even close. Scheffler will finish out the year at ‘The Showdown’ playing with Rory McIlroy against LIV golfers Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.
So far in 2024, Scheffler has become a father, gone to jail, won a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris and won The Memorial Tournament, RBC Heritage, The Players Championship, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Travelers Championship and the Masters Tournament. He won the TOUR Championshp and the Hero World Challenge.
He could win $5 million more if he and Rory McIlroy can beat the LIV team at ‘The Showdown,’ which would help with Christmas presents at the Scheffler house. Oh, yeah, did we metnion he won the 2024 PGA TOUR Player of the Year?
How much has Scheffler earned in 2024?
Scheffler is the world’s No. 1 for a reason as he proved time and time again in 2024. His performance this year, in which he pocketed $29.2 million at Tour events, plus $25 million at the Tour Championship along with his bonus for Tour Top-10 total a whopping $58.5 million in 2024. This year has brought his career earnings total to over $123 million including PGA Tour earnings, Tour Top-10 bonuses and Tour Championship payouts.
His win at the TOUR Championship was 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 victories in 2024 have helped Scott earn roughly $5 million in the last 12 months.
