After finishing T2 at the BMW Championship last week, Scheffler absolutely crushes that record in 2023, setting a new single-season earnings record at $21 million.
It’s been an absolutely historic season for Scheffler, especially in terms of his Shot Gained: Tee-to-Green stats. He leads the PGA Tour with 2.805 strokes gained tee-to-green, marking the highest number on the Tour since 2006. Along with his unbelievable stats, Scheffler has two wins this season, two runner-ups, and a whopping 16 top-10 finishes this season.

Scottie Scheffler Sets New Single-Season Earnings Record

His second place won him a total of $1.76 million last weekend. However, Scheffler’s biggest payout came at the Players Championship when he brought home a total of $4.5 million.
Despite his incredible numbers, Scheffler’s had a hard time closing in 2023. He hasn’t recorded a win since March. However, he’s been the most consistent golfer out the tour with his worst performance this year being a T31 finish at FedEx St. Jude Championship.
He’s been consistent with 10 top-5 finishes, which has helped him earn $21 million in a single season.

Scheffler’s total earnings this season so far is $21,014,342, which would mean Scott will be taking home at least $2 million. If true, Scott would be 79th on the 2023 PGA Tour money list and he is guaranteed the highest-paid caddie this year.
Scheffler still has one more event left this season, where he has a chance to bring home $18 million. If Scheffler succeeds, it’ll be the biggest payday for a player and caddie ever in a single season.
