Summary
$3.6 million from Scheffler’s eight-shot FedEx St. Jude Championship win lifted his PGA Tour career earnings to $119,964,411, just over $1 million behind Woods’ record $120,999,166.
Two playoff events now give Scheffler a clear path to No. 1: the no-cut BMW Championship carries a $20 million purse, and the Tour Championship offers $40 million with $10 million to the winner.
Scheffler has nearly matched Woods’ total before 168 PGA Tour starts and 21 wins, while Woods needed 378 starts and 82 victories to build his career-leading haul.
The chase underscores how sharply PGA Tour payouts have risen—Woods earned $2.07 million for the 2019 Masters, while Scheffler collected $2.7 million for his first Masters title three years later.
Rory McIlroy ranks third at $116.4 million, with the top three far ahead of the rest of the list; Justin Rose is fourth at just under $79 million.
