Scottie Scheffler Close to Achieving the Unthinkable; on Course to Break a Million-Dollar Jordan Spieth Record

Golf is probably one of the rarest games that have the potential to make a deserving player extremely rich. Many athletes look at the sport as their way to immense success as golf is considered a “wealthy man’s sport”. This reminds us of the million-dollar record that Jordan Spieth had made at the 2015 PGA Championship. 

Sportswriter Kyle Porter recently tweeted about the Jordan Spieth 12-Million-Dollar-plus record in the PGA Tour 2014-15. He also mentioned Scottie Scheffler, who is on his way to earning a noticeably bigger amount than the 28-year-old very soon.

“The most money ever earned in a season on the PGA Tour came in 2014-15 when Jordan Spieth earned just over $12 million. With a win on Sunday, Scottie Scheffler will have earned over $11.5 million … with three months still to go,” tweeted Porter.

Jordan Spieth’s Million-Dollar Record

At the early age of just 22, Spieth made the most money in PGA history. With PGA career earnings of over $31 million, he is the only player who earned $12 million in one season. Not only that, but he also received a FedEx prize of $10 million.

According to stats, Spieth received $13,908 per hole and was paid $3,623 per shot in the PGA 2014-15 season. He made $259,346 per round and won a total of $22,030,465 in the season.

He also recently won the 2021 Valero Texas Open, and in 2022, the 28-year-old golfer achieved victory at the RBC Heritage.

Spieth’s lifetime earnings on the course as of now are over $50 million. But it would not be a surprise to see Scottie Scheffler breaking all his records after Scottie’s Super-Sunday victory. World No. 1 Scottie will still have 3 months remaining to set new records after he sets one by winning on Sunday.
