Rapaport broke the big news through a tweet this morning saying, “Scottie Scheffler now has nine top-5 finishes on the wraparound season.” But it didn’t end there, as Rapaport mentioned that the golfer now has $14 million in on-course earnings.

Money doesn’t make you buy things you don’t need. He’s living life how he wants. He probably loves his car. Get over it.

Scottie Scheffler slams LIV Golf rebels for joining the league
Scheffler has been a PGA Tour loyalist for a long time now. Like all other players in support of the tour, he was also disappointed by players joining LIV Golf. After some players from the Saudi-backed league filed lawsuits against the PGA Tour, Scheffler said it was ‘frustrating’ to see players doing that. “It’s one of those deals where those guys kind of made their decision to go join another tour and they broke the rules and regulations of our tour and now they’re trying to sue us,” he said. “which is definitely a bit frustrating.”

Many players who pledged to stick to the tour and claimed their loyalty to it, have now left and joined the LIV Golf Invitational Series. Golf fans are uncertain about what the players are going to do in the future. However, World Number 1 is currently as loyal to the tour as he was earlier. But it would not be surprising if he decides to join the new league in a short span.
