No one in the history of the PGA Tour has made more money than Scottie Scheffler did in 2026.
The world’s No. 1 player, who captured the Tour Championship on Sunday at East Lake in Atlanta for his 22nd victory on Tour, moved past $30 million in season earnings with the $10 million prize. He’s the first player to pass $30 million in earnings in a single season and also passed Tiger Woods on the PGA Tour’s career money list.

Scheffler earned more than double Cameron Young’s prize money, and Young finished second on the season-long money list. Nine golfers earned more than $10 million while 33 took home more than $5 million.
