Scottie Scheffler Has Already Made More Millions on Tour Than Tiger Woods Did in His Best Ever Season

Scottie Scheffler has been having a terrific season on the PGA Tour. His three victories, including the Masters Tournament, have made him the world’s best golfer. By making cuts and winning tournaments, the 25-year-old has made a fortune this season. However, did you know that he earned more in this season than Tiger Woods had in 2000? 

With 9 victories, including three majors and a World Golf Championship, 2000 was the best season Woods has ever had. And he had won $9,188,321 in the same season. According to Golf Today, he earned $1,773.46 for each shot he played in 2000. 

The statistics of the greatest golfer’s best season are impressive. However, it is not as impressive as Scheffler’s 2021-22 season earnings. According to reports, the 25-year-old has won a staggering $11 million this season and topped the career earnings list. 

The current world No. 1 joined the PGA Tour in 2020 but hadn’t had a win until the 2022 WM Phoenix Open. Interestingly, he won his first PGA title in his 71st start, and after another four events, he had claimed two more victories, including a major and a WGC. 

Furthermore, the golfer became No. 1 on the FedExCup standings entering the WGC week, and No. 1 on OWGR after winning it. As expected, most of his earnings came from the tournaments he had won. He earned a little more than $6 million from his victories, which is more than half of the total of this season’s earnings.

Additionally, he has only missed the cut twice in the current season, making him earn his share of the prize money from each event he attended. The last tournament he took part in was the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he was the runner-up; he won $915,600 from the event. 

What was the season Tiger Woods has most earned in his career?

Although he had won most titles back in 2000, it was not the season he earned the most money. The most he earned from tournaments was in 2007. 

He won $10,867,052 in 2007 from the Tour events. Notably, he had won 7 titles, including two WGCs and a major. Additionally, he won a $10 million bonus for claiming the FedExCup title, making his earnings of the season a massive $20+ million. 

There are still more tournaments to be played on the PGA Tour before the 2021-22 season ends. And Scottie Scheffler has already won much more than what Woods has won in his best season. Do you think he can earn more than what the GOAT made in 2007? Let us know in the comment section below!
