Scottie Scheffler’s 2024 season in numbers: PGA Tour star enjoys record breaking year – full results, prize money won and net worth
Scottie Scheffler is having a season for the ages.
The world no.1 has already picked up a second major of his career, easing to his second Masters victory in three years in April.

However, that is only a small part of what is now becoming one of golf’s all-time years on the PGA Tour and has Scheffler earning comparisons with some of the greatest to play the game.
The 28-year-old from New Jersey beat Tom Kim in a playoff to make the Travelers Championship his sixth title of the year.
Many of Scheffler’s statistics this season have led to comparisons with some of Tiger Woods' greatest years on the tour.
His current total of six wins in one season was last achieved by Woods in 2006, and the next target will be the eight that Woods achieved in 1999.

Per golf data analyst Justin Ray, he also joins Arnold Palmer (1962 and 1960) as the only player with six wins before July 1 since 1960 - not even Woods or Nicklaus managed that.
As well as a second Masters, he has added a second Players Championship, and second Arnold Palmer Invitational to his CV, while the RBC Heritage and Memorial Tournament have also been scooped up in 2024.
He is now in contention for another Major at The Open, five shots adrift of leader Shane Lowry in T4 heading into the weekend.
And for good measure, his wife Meredith gave birth to their first child in May.

Before landing in Scotland, Scheffler had won 40 percent of the 15 tournaments he had teed it up in.
His performance at Royal Troon also ensured that his perfect record of making all 16 cuts for guaranteed prize money on every occasion remains unblemished.
Only once has he finished outside the top 25, which came at the U.S. Open in June, but he has 13 top 10 finishes in a remarkable season that has seen him collect more than $27.6milllon in prize money in 2024.
His caddie Ted Scott is also the beneficiary, given the usual scale for a bag-man’s earnings is 10 per cent for a win and a sliding scale after that.
A conservative estimate would put Scott at $2.7m for the season and inside the top 50 on the 2024 player's money list.

Having made his breakthrough when winning the Phoenix Open in February 2022, Scheffler now has 12 career titles in total.
His PGA Tour career earnings stand at a staggering $70.2million - enough to put him fifth on the all-time list.
Scheffler has already amassed the highest ever total of FedEx Cup points and he has a 362.4-point lead over second-placed Rory McIlroy in the world rankings.
That's virtually the same gap that separates the 353.2-point gap between McIlroy and the world no 100, Harry Hill.

He looks set to play a maximum of five more tournaments on the PGA Tour - and the FedEx Cup has $25m on offer in prize money to the winner.
However, one thing that money can’t buy, and is sure to be top of his list of objectives is the Olympic gold medal, which he will chase at Le Golf National in Paris this summer.

Scheffler’s prize money remains his primary source of income, and his 2024 season is likely to see his net worth exceed $100m.
On top of his PGA Tour income, he has endorsement deals with Nike, TaylorMade, Titleist, Rolex, NetJets and Variety Community Bank.
