Tiger Woods shakes hands with Scottie Scheffler.<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler picked up another FedExCup<\/a> trophy on Sunday. With that feat he joins Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods as the third player to win it multiple times.<\/p>\n Scheffler also took home $10 million<\/a> in prize money. The four-time major winner has now beaten Tiger Woods on the career earning list with a total of $130,390,661.<\/p>\n In 2024 Masters, which was Woods\u2019 last event where he earned official prize money, he reached the $120,999,166 mark. Scheffler after winning it, moved to No. 12 on the list with $57.6 million.<\/p>\n In the last two years, he has added $72.7 million<\/a> to that number. In fact he even broke the highest earning in a season record, that he set in 2024, this year. Scheffler earned more than $30 million in 2026.<\/p>\n He led almost every statistical category<\/a> this season. After such a feat, Woods posted a personal message for him.<\/p>\n Three wins, five runner-ups and finishing the season No. 1. Those are some numbers to be proud of. Incredible consistency all season long. Congrats on a historic season, Scottie.<\/p>\n \u201cThree wins, five runner-ups and finishing the season No. 1,\u201d he said. \u201cThose are some numbers to be proud of. Incredible consistency all season long. Congrats on a historic season, Scottie.\u201d<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler Dedicates the Win to His Family<\/p>\n Scheffler owes a lot to his parents Scott and Diane. They kept him grounded and taught him to manage his own golf journey without undue pressure.<\/p>\n Early on, his father learned from a coach to let Scottie take his own bag off the cart and set up his own area, teaching him that golf was his own responsibility. His mother never asked him what he shot after a round.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a really close family and I feel like it starts with my parents,\u201d Scheffler expressed to Golf Channel after the win. \u201cMy dad would lay in front of traffic for me if it meant that I\u00a0wouldn\u2019t get a scratch on my elbow. I feel like no matter how I play on the golf course,\u00a0I\u2019m always coming home to people that love me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI felt like growing up in golf, your parents want what\u2019s\u00a0best for you and obviously they want you to succeed and achieve your dreams. And I felt that\u00a0from my parents, but I also felt that it was okay if I didn\u2019t make it out here,\u201d Scheffler added. If I didn\u2019t win today\u00a0or if I never made it to the PGA tour, that was okay for all of us. My parents wanted\u00a0me to chase after my dreams and I\u2019m just glad to have their support.\u201d<\/p>\n Scottie Scheffler is Now a Frontrunner in Player of the Year Race<\/p>\n The argument before the Tour Championship was whether wins matter more or a consistent season. Many beleived that Wyndham Clark\u2019s resume that includes a regular win, U.S. Open and a playoff win is bigger than Scheffler\u2019s one playoff win and one regulae win season.<\/p>\n But after Sunday, Scheffler might be looking at another Player of the Year award.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s more to me of 3 wins vs 2, with one of the 3 being a playoff event and a major,\u201d Justin Thomas said<\/a> before Scheffler\u2019s win. \u201cThat\u2019s so huge. Knowing Scottie, he will go win this week and the conversation will be over and Scottie (deservingly) wins in a landslide.\u201d<\/p>\n He speaks more many from the golf community. With this win, Scheffler might have settled the debate.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tDibyendu Mondal<\/a> Dibyendu Mondal is a contributor for Heavy Sports with special focus on golf, football, basketball and soccer.
