A winner of the Masters (twice), the Players Championship (twice) and several marquee PGA Tour events, Scottie Scheffler has now checked off another box with his first Tour Championship.
His win in the 2024 Tour Championship, making him this season’s FedEx Cup champion, gives him his biggest payday, a $25 million prize of “bonus” money, which doesn’t count towards his official money list but still spends. He also banked $8 million in bonus money for finishing first in the Comcast Business Tour Top 10.
His seven wins this season is the most in a single season since Tiger Woods in 2007. His 13 career wins include two Arnold Palmer Invitationals, two WM Phoenix Opens (one of which was a signature event) as well as a Match Play, an RBC Heritage, a Memorial, a Travelers and now the Tour Championship, which makes him the 2024 FedEx Cup champion.
His 13th win makes him the 84th player, and third active player, to reach that mark on the all-time wins list. The others with 13 wins:
- Jason Day
- Jordan Spieth
- George Archer
- Mark Calcavecchia
- Dave Hill
- Bruce Lietzke
- Craig Stadler
- David Toms
- David Duval
- Ed Dudley
- Joe Kirkwood Sr.
- Bobby Locke
In 2024, Scheffler set the record for most official money ($14,046,910 in 2021-22; $21,014,342 in 2022-23) for the third consecutive season.
