It pays to play well on the PGA Tour, especially at designated events. Just ask this week’s winner, Scottie Scheffler.
The 26-year-old earned his sixth PGA Tour win Sunday at the 2023 Players Championship. Scheffler finished at 17 under after a 3-under 69 in the final round to take home the top prize of $4.5 million and claim the Tour’s flagship event as well as the title as world No. 1.
Tyrrell Hatton fired the low round of the day to sit solo second at 12 under to claim a whopping $2.725 million, with both Tom Hoge and Viktor Hovland earning $1.475 million for finishing T-3 at 10 under. Hideki Matsuyama rounded out the top five at 9 under and will also earn seven figures at $1.025 million.
