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.<\/p>\n
DALLAS \u2014 You’ll never believe this, but Scottie Scheffler won a bunch of money<\/a> on the golf course Sunday. Do you think his bank account gets winded from those Monday direct deposits?<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n His birdie on the Par 3 17th<\/a> broke social media for a second, and vanquished MacIntyre.<\/p>\n 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).\u00a0<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Yes, Scheffler has the three highest-earning seasons in Tour history,\u00a0as Statmuse first noted here<\/a> 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<\/a>, behind only Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods).<\/p>\n SCOTTIE. SCHEFFLER.
