For decades, Tiger Woods sat atop the PGA Tour career money list. In fact, Woods assumed the top spot on the list when he was runner-up at Torrey Pines on Feb. 13, 2000.

But Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1 who won the 2026 Tour Championship on Sunday at East Lake in Atlanta, passed the 15-time major champion on the PGA Tour’s career money list. Scheffler earned $10 million with the win, vaulting him past Woods, who has held the top spot since Feb. 13, 2000.
