Scottie Scheffler Eyes $60M as PGA Tour’s Money Game Witnesses a Massive One-Sided Dominance

It has been an impressive rise for the world no. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler in the 2024 season. The 27-year-old earned many notable laurels in the current season, pairing him with the legendary golfers like Tiger Woods. A recent feat highlights another heroic feat by Scheffler that no other pro except Woods (2009) has achieved.

At the 2024 Travelers Championship, Scheffler did Scheffler things and took home the highly coveted trophy with the $3.6 million winner’s money. This made him the only golfer since Woods to win six times in a single season and the third golfer to do so. However, Scheffler’s incredible run would not stop there, as he is predicted to achieve something more dazzling.

Scottie Scheffler might earn more than $60 million in a single season

For the third straight year, Scottie Scheffler might become the highest-earning golfer on the PGA Tour. Last year, he broke the record after making 22 out of 22 cuts and winning four times to earn more than $21 million in a single season. This year, Scheffler has already won six times in just 6 months.

Notably, there are two more months and three more elevated events that may earn the world no. 1 pro even more. In the past six months, Scheffler has won only the coveted events, concluding four out of eight signature events, earning him $15.2 million from only these events. Now, including his second Masters win, the victory at PLAYERS, and ten other finishes, Scheffler has so far banked $27.69 million, the highest for this season already.

With the FedExCup Championship, BMW Championship, and The Open still left to start, Scheffler is predicted to win two out of three earning $10 million more. Additionally, as the 27-year-old is leading the Comcast Business Top 10, he is likely to be paid the $25 million from the FedEx Cup payout. After this incredible achievement, he would probably receive $10 million from the Players Impact Program, making his total earnings exceed $60 million for the 2024 season. He will be the only golfer on the PGA Tour to do so.

However, this hefty sum of $60 million has been calculated without considering Scheffler’s off-course income, including endorsements. What will Scottie Scheffler earn by the end of the year, if his endorsements are included?

How much does Scottie Scheffler earn from endorsements?

According to Forbes’ highest-paid golfers’ list, Scottie Scheffler is the fourth highest-paid golfer in the world due to his off-and-on-course hard work. While on-course heroics are always caught up by the fans, Scheffler earns heaps by working with many top brands. Brands such as Nike, Rolex, TaylorMade, NetJets, and Veritex Community Bank exclusively sponsor Scheffler.

Forbes reports that the world’s No. 1 golfer has bagged $20 million from these six partnerships. Adding this amount to the plausible $60 million, Scheffler is set to break an unprecedented threshold. The 27-year-old might become the third-highest-paid golfer when the 2025 list comes out and on the PGA Tour’s career money list, Scheffler would probably jump to third, surpassing Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk.

Indeed, Scheffler is set up for success in the 2024 season. The question is, will he continue to win or fall to lower positions as the season progresses? It remains to be seen.
