Not having to leave the house, let alone hit a single golf shot for two full weeks and still watch your bank account grow exponentially sounds rather nice, and it&#8217;s all a testament to Scheffler&#8217;s efforts in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Scheffler has already locked up the top spot in the FedEx Cup standings before the opening playoff event in Memphis next week. Thanks to an adjustment made to this year&#8217;s FedEx Cup Playoffs payout, Scheffler will receive $10 million for topping the standings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Funny enough, the winner of the Wyndham Championship this Sunday will only make a little more than $1.4 million.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/scheffler-at-the-open.jpg\" alt=\"Scottie Scheffler at Royal Portrush\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"title\">Scottie Scheffler is going to get quite a bit wealthier come the end of the week. (Mike Frey-Imagn Images)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">As for the extra $8 million Scheffler is set to make by the end of the week, that will come courtesy of the Comcast Business Tour Top-10, another race that the Texan has already locked up the top spot in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Scheffler has already made $19.2 million in on-course earnings alone in 2025, and now that number will nearly double this weekend despite him not actually hitting one meaningful golf shot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">His ginormous paydays may not stop this weekend, either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Scheffler will be the odds-on favorite to win each of the three playoff events coming up. The first two legs &#8211; the FedEx St. Jude Championship and BMW Championship &#8211; will pay the winner $3.6 million. The winner of the Tour Championship to wrap up the season will collect $10 million.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Predicting Scheffler to win all three events would be ridiculous, but it&#8217;s hard not to like his chances to very much contend each week, pick up at least a few million dollars more, and raise at least one more trophy before it&#8217;s all said and done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Being the No. 1 golfer in the world makes for a nice life.
