With the finale of the 2022 FedEx Cup, Rory McIlroy managed to grasp the win out of the hands of the World number one Scottie Scheffler. The event has earned a reputation for offering the highest prize money in the PGA Tour. Talking about money in the sport of golf, no one has earned more than Tiger Woods. So has the Billionaire ever won the FedExCup, and if he has, how many did he win? Undoubtedly, Woods is one of the most decorated golfers of all time.

However, FedExCup was only announced in 2005 and was first played in 2007. The FedExCup concludes the end of the PGA Tour season. With so many accolades to his name, has Tiger Woods ever managed to engrave his name on the FedEx Cup trophy? DID TIGER WOODS EVER WIN A FEDEXCUP? Since the FedExCup was only first played in 2007, some of the greats of the game like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/arnold-palmer/amp/], Gary Player, and many more, don’t have the cup in their resume. But when it comes to 15-time Major Champion, it’s safe to say Tiger Woods did win the FedExCup.

Scottie Scheffler is a two-time major champion who plays on the PGA Tour. Born in New Jersey, and raised in Texas, Schefflerâ€™s early interest in golf started at age 3. Although his father introduced him to multiple sports, the 27-year-old stuck with golf. Earning his way through the Korn Ferry Tour, Scottie Scheffler rose to the World No. 1 spot quite early in his career. Here is everything you need to know about the Texas star who has maintained unparalleled dominance in recent years.
<h2><b>Early life of Scottie Scheffler</b></h2>
Scottie Scheffler was born in New Jersey in 1996. However, he spent a part of his early childhood days in New Jersey. However, when his mother got a job there, they moved to Dallas. The 27-year-old is a member of the Royal Oaks Country Club, where his father enlisted him on borrowed money.

At the age of six, he started working with his swing coach, Randy Smith. Smith is still the instructor Scheffler trusts. Young Scheffler, however, played many sports growing up, including basketball, lacrosse, baseball, and football. However, he chose golf as a career, and that has been his dream since early childhood. His dream, however, started courtesy of a plastic golf club he was presented with by his parents.
<h2><b>Schefflerâ€™s professional wins</b></h2>
Scheffler has ten wins so far on the Tour. His maiden victory came at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open, when he defeated Patrick Cantlay in a playoff. He topped that with three more, including the Masters that year. The current world no. 1 golfer has made 102 cuts in the 121 tournaments he has played on the Tour.

Scheffler, though, made his PGA Tour debut as a 17-year-old kid at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, then known as the AT&amp;T Byron Nelson. In his tour debut, Scheffler made a hole-in-one at the 221-yard second hole at the Four Seasons Resort. He settled for a T22 at the event.

A highly decorated college career raised the expectations of the Dallas native. Scheffler, however, exceeded those expectations, showcasing dominance reminiscent of Tiger Woods. In April 2024, Scottie Scheffler became the first golfer since Tiger Woods to win four tournaments in five starts.

Scheffler also shattered multiple records on the PGA Tour in 2024. Scheffler played 39 consecutive rounds at par or better. In 2023, Scheffler became the seventh-lowest average scorer in PGA Tour history. His adjusted score of 68.63 was bettered by only Tiger Woods in six years. Woods holds the record of 67.79; this year, Schefflerâ€™s scoring average is 67.50.

Scheffler is also in the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy league in terms of amassing ten PGA Tout titles. Woods took 76, and McIlroy took 92 events to reach that career milestone. Scheffler took 119. â€œ<i>In high school, I narrowed it down to just basketball and golf. My whole life, I knew how much I loved golf. It was the one sport I always wanted to be playing, regardless of the season,</i>â€ Scheffler said in 2018 to Golf Digest.
<h2><b>Scottie Scheffler: Net worthÂ </b></h2>
Per Forbes, Scheffler was already sitting on $47.1 million in 2023. His current net worth is north of $80M, especially after victories at the Arnold Palmer Invitational ($4M), THE PLAYERS Championship ($4.5M), the Masters ($3.6M), and the RBC Heritage ($4M). He has already amassed $18,693,235 from ten events played in 2024. The two-time Major champion is eighth on the all-time money list, with $61,258,464 in career earnings from the Tour.

In 2023, Scheffler set the record for earning the most money in a calendar year. The Texas star earned $21,014,342, and it appears he will soon surpass this record. Scheffler is also a Nike athlete. Aside from that, he has ties with NetJets, Rolex, TaylorMade, Titleist, and Vertex Community Bank. Scheffler is represented by Blake Smith of Hambric Sports.
<h2>Schefflers were a family of six</h2>
Schefflerâ€™s parents are Scott and Diane Scheffler. Diane used to work as a COO at a law firm, where she supported the family financially. Scheffler has three sisters, Callie, Molly, and Sara. Callie was looping for Scheffler when he made his PGA Tour debut. She has also looped for her brother countless times before, mostly in USGA tournaments.

Scottie Scheffler married his high school sweetheart, Meredith Scudder, in 2020. Scudder has accompanied his husband on many occasions. Most famously in 2022, when Scheffler earned his first green jacket and the maiden major tournament. They're expecting their firstborn in May 2024.

The 10-time PGA Tour winner famously said that he would leave Augusta National if his wife went into labor. Two years earlier, Scheffler revealed Meredith calmed him down as he was â€˜crying like a babyâ€™ before the final round of the Masters.
<h2><b>Religion plays a big role in Schefflerâ€™s life</b></h2>
Scottie Scheffler is a devout Christian. â€œ<i>The reason why I play golf is Iâ€™m trying to glorify God and all that Heâ€™s done in my life,</i>â€ the PGA Tour Pro said last year from Augusta. The 10-time PGA Tour winner is part of a Bible study group. And, thatâ€™s where he met his caddie, Ted Scott. â€œ<i>I really want to work with a Christian. Thatâ€™s how I try to live my life,</i>â€ Scheffler told Scott while asking the veteran to loop for him.

At this yearâ€™s Masters, Scheffler reiterated his faith in God. â€œ<i>My buddies told me this morning my victory was secure on the cross. And thatâ€™s a pretty special feeling to know that Iâ€™m secure for forever, and it doesnâ€™t matter if I win this tournament or lose this tournament. My identity is secure forever.</i>â€
<h2><b>Scheffler is active in various charity organizations</b></h2>
Schefflerâ€™s friend James Ragan and his brother, Mecklin, started a philanthropic foundation, Triumph Over Kids Cancer. James, however, died of bone cancer just months before the Highland Park sophomore made his PGA Tour debut. A few years later, the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year donated a portion of the $300,000 he pocketed as the winner of the RSM Birdies Fore Love.

He also donated $50,000 to the Northern Texas PGA (NTPGA) Foundation for developmental programs for junior golfers. In 2020, Scheffler also donated $20,000 to West Dallas Community School, $20,000 to Advocates for Community Transformation, $20,000 to Human Impact, and $20,000 to Behind Every Door Ministries. The couple, too, is part of a charity organization, The Scudder Association Foundation.

For Scheffler, Christianity is a guiding principle in his life. Golf is secondary; itâ€™s his job. But family and faith matter more for the pro who canâ€™t stop winning.

<h2><b>Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements.

Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-tiger-woods-parts-ways-with-nike-fractured-deal-becomes-a-reality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which came to an end after a 27-year partnership</a> that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023.

Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-where-does-tiger-woods-live-inside-his-54-million-mega-mansion-with-two-private-docks-tiger-woods-house-jupiter-florida-mansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property</a>.

Woods also bought both his parents' houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl's names.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life</b></h2>
Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies.

From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy.

By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

Tigerâ€™s father, Earl, was his inspiration to play the sport and was also the one who taught him how to play the game. His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years.

In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he's now known as.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids</b></h2>
Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods's heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006.

[caption id="attachment_936305" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-936305" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1021662-1.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods with his father and mother" width="1920" height="1372" /> 25 Jan 1998: Tiger Woods with his parents Kultida and Earl Woods at the Johnnie Walker Classic at Blue Canyon Golf Club, Thailand.

Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida. But his father had three other children before he was born. Earl Jr. was Woodsâ€™ eldest half-sibling and was born in 1955. He is 20 years older than Tiger. Woods has another elder half-brother, Kevin Dale Woods, who is 18 years older than he is and was born in 1957. His third half-sibling is his half-sister, Royce Renee Woods, who was born in 1961.

Woods himself has two children, both with his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. His firstborn is their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, who was born on June 18, 2007. Charlie Axel Woods, her brother and Woods and Elinâ€™s second child, was born on February 8, 2009.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Dating History</b></h2>
In 2001, Woods first met his then-wife-to-be, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-what-does-tiger-woods-ex-wife-elin-nordegren-do-for-a-living/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elin Nordegren, a former model</a>. The couple dated for a while before getting engaged in November 2003. Less than a year later, in October 2004, the couple tied the knot and were married in Barbados in an intricate ceremony. A little over five years later, they <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-tiger-woods-ex-wife-elin-nordegren-where-is-she-now-and-what-caused-the-downfall-of-their-relationship-update-tiger-woods-ex-wife-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went through a very public and scandalous divorce.</a>

Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin.

Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier,Â <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lindsey-vonn/">Lindsey Vonn</a>. The two made an attractive athlete-power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles.

Woods also dated Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a playerâ€™s spouse credential at the Presidentâ€™s Cup. The pair broke up in 2023. Following their breakup, Herman also filed a lawsuit against Woods to revoke the non-disclosure agreement she signed when the couple initially started dating. Herman cited the Speak Out Act in her lawsuit, which permits the nullification of NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment. However, she later dropped the lawsuit.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Awards and Achievements</b></h2>
Woods has one of the most incredible careers in golfâ€™s history. Having turned pro in August 1996, he straight away began playing on the PGA Tour. Two months into his professional debut, he won his first Tour event, the Las Vegas Invitational, in October. Since then, the golf pro has gone on to win 82 times, the most any player has ever won. He shares this record with Sam Snead.

Less than a year after turning pro, Tiger Woods won his first major championship at Augusta in April 1997 at the Masters. He has gone on to win a total of 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 throughout his career, a record Woods is certainly gunning for. Woods won his 15th major at the Masters in 2019.

Woods is quite certainly one of the most accomplished golfers of all time. In terms of numbers, the golf pro has to date gotten his hands on 5 Masters titles, 3 US Open titles, 4 PGA Championship titles, and 3 Open Championships.

The PGA Tour star also holds the record for the most amount of time spent as World No. 1 at 683 weeks (just over 13 years). Through strong resolve, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-tiger-woods-crazy-fitness-routine-that-made-him-a-golf-legend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tons of training, and rigorous hard work</a>,Â the golf pro had earned the legend tag for himself.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods Documentary</b></h2>
All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary. Tiger, an HBO sports-biography documentary, aired in 2021. It focuses on his steady rise and abrupt drop, and then his comeback to the sport.

The documentary also explores Woodsâ€™ relationship with his father and the effect his divorce had on his career. Fans can watch the biography, which is split into two episodes, on HBO Max.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Car Accidents</b></h2>
Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009, when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as <em>â€œserious.â€</em>

Eight years later, in 2017, the golf legend was arrested in Florida for DUI. The police had found him passed out behind the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz. There seemed to have been a minor accident before the cops found him.

The golf pro suffered multiple injuries to his right leg and ankle and sustained injuries to his back. He went through multiple surgeries for his leg injuries and has not yet fully recovered from them.

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career Tiger Woods&#8217;s Net Worth 2024 Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements. Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, which came to an end after a 27-year partnership that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023. Golf &#8211; 150th Open Championship &#8211; St Andrews, Scotland, Britain &#8211; July 10, 2022 Tiger Woods of the U.S. during a practice round REUTERS/Paul Childs Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property. Woods also bought both his parents&#8217; houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl&#8217;s names. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies. From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy. By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.

His first official coach, on the other hand, was Rudy Duran, who began training him at the age of four and continued to do so for six years. In 1994, Tiger Woods attended Stanford University for two years and pursued a degree in economics. He turned pro in 1996, taking his first steps toward becoming the golf legend that he&#8217;s now known as. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Family and His Kids Tiger is the son of Earl Woods and Kultida Woods. Although he was born an American citizen, Woods&#8217;s heritage is part African-American, owing to his father, and part Thai, owing to the fact that his mother is from Thailand. The couple were married for 37 years until Earl sadly passed away at the age of 74 in 2006. 25 Jan 1998: Tiger Woods with his parents Kultida and Earl Woods at the Johnnie Walker Classic at Blue Canyon Golf Club, Thailand. Mandatory Credit: David Cannon/ALLSPORT Woods is the only child of Earl and Kultida. But his father had three other children before he was born. Earl Jr. was Woodsâ€™ eldest half-sibling and was born in 1955. He is 20 years older than Tiger. Woods has another elder half-brother, Kevin Dale Woods, who is 18 years older than he is and was born in 1957. His third half-sibling is his half-sister, Royce Renee Woods, who was born in 1961. Woods himself has two children, both with his now ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. His firstborn is their daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, who was born on June 18, 2007. Charlie Axel Woods, her brother and Woods and Elinâ€™s second child, was born on February 8, 2009. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Dating History In 2001, Woods first met his then-wife-to-be, Elin Nordegren, a former model. The couple dated for a while before getting engaged in November 2003. Less than a year later, in October 2004, the couple tied the knot and were married in Barbados in an intricate ceremony. A little over five years later, they went through a very public and scandalous divorce.

Messerschmidt/Getty Images) Woods met Rachael Uchitel in 2008. A year later, the two began seeing each other. Allegedly, Uchitel and Woods were seeing each other before his split with his wife, Elin. Following his messy marriage, Woods started afresh with the American Alpine Olympic skier,Â Lindsey Vonn. The two made an attractive athlete-power couple. They met in 2012 and began dating soon after. In May 2015, the pair split up due to their hectic athletic lifestyles. Woods also dated Erica Herman, the former general manager of his restaurant, the Woods Jupiter. The two first made their relationship public in 2017 when she wore a playerâ€™s spouse credential at the Presidentâ€™s Cup. The pair broke up in 2023. Following their breakup, Herman also filed a lawsuit against Woods to revoke the non-disclosure agreement she signed when the couple initially started dating. Herman cited the Speak Out Act in her lawsuit, which permits the nullification of NDAs in cases of sexual assault or harassment. However, she later dropped the lawsuit. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Awards and Achievements Woods has one of the most incredible careers in golfâ€™s history. Having turned pro in August 1996, he straight away began playing on the PGA Tour. Two months into his professional debut, he won his first Tour event, the Las Vegas Invitational, in October. Since then, the golf pro has gone on to win 82 times, the most any player has ever won. He shares this record with Sam Snead. Less than a year after turning pro, Tiger Woods won his first major championship at Augusta in April 1997 at the Masters. He has gone on to win a total of 15 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, who has won 18 throughout his career, a record Woods is certainly gunning for. Woods won his 15th major at the Masters in 2019.

(Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images) Woods is quite certainly one of the most accomplished golfers of all time. In terms of numbers, the golf pro has to date gotten his hands on 5 Masters titles, 3 US Open titles, 4 PGA Championship titles, and 3 Open Championships. The PGA Tour star also holds the record for the most amount of time spent as World No. 1 at 683 weeks (just over 13 years). Through strong resolve, tons of training, and rigorous hard work,Â the golf pro had earned the legend tag for himself. Tiger Woods Documentary All the avid Woods fans eager to find out more about the golfer will be pleased to know that the golf legend has a documentary. Tiger, an HBO sports-biography documentary, aired in 2021. It focuses on his steady rise and abrupt drop, and then his comeback to the sport. The documentary also explores Woodsâ€™ relationship with his father and the effect his divorce had on his career. Fans can watch the biography, which is split into two episodes, on HBO Max. Tiger Woods&#8217;s Car Accidents Woods has suffered a dark fate when it comes to accidents. He has been involved in three separate car accidents, each life-threatening. The first came in 2009, when the golf pro lost control of his SUV and crashed it into a fire hydrant, soon after pulling out of the driveway of his Florida mansion. He was knocked out and lost consciousness for nearly 6 minutes. His injuries from the accident had been described as â€œserious.â€ Eight years later, in 2017, the golf legend was arrested in Florida for DUI.

The golf pro suffered multiple injuries to his right leg and ankle and sustained injuries to his back. He went through multiple surgeries for his leg injuries and has not yet fully recovered from them. Yet the PGA Tour star found the resolve to compete in major championships in 2022. Woods&#8217;s health struggles continued as he withdrew from the Masters in April 2023 due to a re-aggravation of his plantar fasciitis. After nearly an eight-month-long hiatus, the 82-time PGA Tour winner made a comeback at the Hero World Challenge in December 2023.
