The end result for Scheffler was his fifth win of the season, and a $3.6 million check, his second-largest prize of the season.
DALLAS — You’ll never believe this, but Scottie Scheffler won a bunch of money on the golf course Sunday. Do you think his bank account gets winded from those Monday direct deposits?
Scheffler, who trailed Robert MacIntyre by four shots entering the final round at the BMW Championship, ended up winning by two at Caves Valley Golf Club. Scheffler’s putter wobbled on the back nine, so he figured out a solution: Just chip it in.
His birdie on the Par 3 17th broke social media for a second, and vanquished MacIntyre.
The end result for Scheffler was his fifth win of the season, and a $3.6 million check, his second-largest prize of the season (he won $4 million at the Memorial).Â
The BMW win brought his season earnings to $23,962,883, the second-most in a single season in PGA Tour history. The lone man in front of him? Scottie Scheffler. The guy behind him? Scottie Scheffler.
Yes, Scheffler has the three highest-earning seasons in Tour history, as Statmuse first noted here before the BMW even got underway. That’s a product of his own brilliance since 2022, but also the inflated earnings that have been injected into the game. Still, even in this more lucrative era, no player outside of Scheffler has earned more than $20 million in a season. He’s done it three times. (He’s also now third on the all-time money list, behind only Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods).

But Scheffler’s official earnings don’t include the bonuses he’s earned along the way. In 2024, for example, he pocketed more than $30 million in bonuses for winning the FedEx Cup and finishing atop the Tour’s regular season standings.
This year, Scheffler already earned a $10 million bonus for entering the FedEx Cup playoffs as the top-ranked player in the standings. He got another $5 million bonus Sunday for staying at No. 1 through the BMW. And he’ll win another $10 million bonus if he wins the FedEx Cup at next week’s Tour Championship in Atlanta. Oh yeah, he also earned $8 million as part of the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 bonus pool at the end of the regular season.
If you’re counting at home, that’s $23 million in bonuses (on top of $23 million in earnings), with another $10 million bonus in play at the Tour Championship.
OK, now we’re going to give our calculator a break.
