Scottie Scheffler is a golfer we don't need to say too much about, and his dominance this season best describes how important a figure he is in the world of golf. The American golfer missed the last two PGA Tour tournaments, the 3M Open and the Wyndham Championship, but despite not appearing in these tournaments, Scheffler collected as much as 18 million dollars.
Namely, thanks to his dominance on the PGA Tour, Scheffler ended the season with 1,362 more points than the second-placed player, winning as much as 18 million dollars.
The PGA Tour clearly defined the rules before the season, revealing what sums the golfers who are at the very top of the OWGR ladder will earn.
The top 10 players on the FedEx Cup list share the $20 million prize after the Wyndham Championship, with Scheffler earning as much as 50% of the total.

In addition, the leader earns as much as 8 million dollars, which brings us to a total sum of 18 million dollars.
The 28-year-old golfer has secured the leadership with his impressive performances this season, and it was hard to imagine anyone else in Scheffler's position.
Earnings
During this season, he earned more than 19 million dollars, and it is important to point out that his career earnings exceeded 145 million dollars.
Given his dominance, most expect Scheffler's bankroll to be extra fat in the coming months, as only wins and nothing else are expected from him.
The famous golfer has talked about money before, stressing that money is not his motive for playing golf. The American golfer has somewhat different motives, and he has shown that many times on the golf scene.

"I don't play golf for money. I've been playing golf my whole life for free and the money's just a bonus. If somebody wants to pay us to come out here and play golf, that's great, I'm not going to say no to it. I'm going to do the best I can in my community to steward that money well. ."-Scheffler said.
