Scottie Scheffler’s incredible 2024 just got even better with the world No. 1 receiving a massive bonus from the PGA Tour, almost double the size of Rory McIlroy’s.
Scheffler has won six times on the PGA Tour this season, including a memorable second Masters title, and he followed it up with victory at the Olympics in Paris last week to make it a golden year for the 28-year-old.
The American has raked in a massive £22million in on-course earnings this season, and his bank balance swelled further on Monday with confirmation he had finished atop the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 rankings. The list acts as the PGA Tour’s regular season order of merit, and Scheffler finished top by a huge margin.

For his efforts, he will receive a £6.2m bonus, and he has huge opportunities to boost his winnings in the final three weeks of the season through the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The FedEx St. Jude Championship and BMW Championship have £3.1m purses going to the winners, while the Tour Championship title is worth an eye-watering £19.6m.
“It’s been an incredible year for me both on and off the course, so to finish up the regular season by earning the top spot in the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 is an honour,” Scheffler said. “Every year I try to perform and compete to the best of my abilities, so this award really represents the hard work put in throughout the course of the season with the support of my family and team.”
Xander Schauffele, winner of the PGA Championship and The Open, comes in second on the list, and receives a bonus of £4.7m, while Rory McIlroy finished third and receives £3.8m. Collin Morikawa takes £3.4m for finishing fourth.
