Scottie Scheffler on the cusp of breaking a PGA Tour mark Tiger Woods has held for 26 years | National Sports

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Scottie Scheffler is on the cusp of a PGA Tour record Tiger Woods has held for more than 26 years, one that means next to nothing to the world’s No. 1 player because of so many factors in play.

Scheffler is coming off his 21st career PGA Tour victory, all in the last five years. Last week’s win was worth $3.6 million, the fifth time this year he has earned $2 million or more. That brought him to within $1,034,756 of surpassing Woods on the career earnings list.
