In August 2026, his win at the Tour Championship lifted his official career earnings to $130.4 million, moving him past Tiger Woods ($121 million) for the first time since 2000. On top of that come more than $100 million in FedEx Cup and other season-long bonuses, about $19.5 million from the Player Impact Program and roughly $30 million a year from sponsors.

Forbes ranked him the No. 2 highest-paid golfer in June 2026 with $79 million in yearly earnings. Sportico put him at $81 million in April 2026. After taxes, caddie and agent fees, our estimate assumes he has kept a little under half of his gross income.

Earnings by season

The table below shows Scheffler’s official PGA Tour money each season, plus the separate bonus money he earned. Bonuses from the FedEx Cup pool do not count as official money, which is why his real yearly haul is much higher than the money list shows.

Season	Official prize money	Money list rank	Key bonuses	Highlights
2019–20	$2.83 million	22nd	—	Rookie of the Year; shot 59 at The Northern Trust
2020–21	$4.51 million	19th	—	Ryder Cup debut
2021–22	$14.05 million	1st	FedEx Cup runner-up bonus; $5.5M PIP	First Masters; then a Tour record season
2022–23	$21.01 million	1st	$6M PIP	Won The Players; new record for a season
2024	$29.23 million	1st	$25M FedEx Cup bonus; $8M Comcast Top 10; $8M PIP	Seven wins, second Masters, Olympic gold
2025	$27.66 million	1st	$10M regular-season bonus; $8M Comcast Top 10; about $2.6M at the Tour Championship	Six wins, PGA Championship and Open Championship
2026	$30.9 million	1st	$23M FedEx Cup bonus; $10M points-leader bonus	Three wins, second FedEx Cup, record season

Official money figures come from the PGA Tour money list. The 2026 figure is as of October 6, 2026, as reported by Yahoo Sports. Under the new 2026 format, the Tour Championship had its own $40 million purse, so his $10 million winner’s check counted as official money.

The biggest jumps in his yearly income:

• 2024: about $62.2 million in total PGA Tour money once the $25 million FedEx Cup bonus and $8 million Comcast prize were added
• 2025: close to $48 million including bonuses
• 2026: almost $64 million in prize money and bonuses, according to Golf Monthly

Early life

Scott Alexander Scheffler was born on June 21, 1996, in Ridgewood, New Jersey. He grew up in nearby Montvale until he was six, when the family moved to Dallas, Texas, where he started practicing at Royal Oaks Country Club.

He attended Highland Park High School in Dallas and won the 2013 U.S. Junior Amateur. As a high school amateur he also played in his first PGA Tour event, the 2014 Byron Nelson, and made the cut.

Scheffler played college golf at the University of Texas at Austin. He was Big 12 Freshman of the Year and helped the Longhorns become one of the top programs in the country. He graduated in 2018 with a degree in finance.

Turning pro and the Korn Ferry Tour

Scheffler turned professional in 2018. He spent the 2019 season on the Korn Ferry Tour, the PGA Tour’s development circuit, and won twice.

That year he was named Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year, which earned him a full PGA Tour card. Prize money on that tour is modest, so his first big paydays came a year later.

PGA Tour rookie to world No. 1 (2020–2022)

As a PGA Tour rookie in 2019–20, Scheffler earned $2.8 million and was named Rookie of the Year. His highlight was a round of 59 at The Northern Trust in August 2020.

He played on the winning U.S. team at the 2021 Ryder Cup, where he beat world No. 1 Jon Rahm in singles. His first PGA Tour win finally came at the WM Phoenix Open in February 2022.

Then he took off. Within about six weeks he also won the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, and on March 27, 2022, he became world No. 1. In April he won the Masters for his first major. His $14 million in official earnings that season was a PGA Tour record at the time.

The record seasons (2023–2024)

In 2023 Scheffler won his second Phoenix Open and The Players Championship. He earned $21 million on the course, another season record, even though he won only twice.

His 2024 season was one of the best in the modern game. He won seven PGA Tour events, including a second Masters, The Players, the Memorial and the Tour Championship. The Masters paid $3.6 million and The Players paid $4.5 million.

In August he won the Olympic gold medal in Paris by one shot over Tommy Fleetwood. Olympic golf carries no prize money, but it made him a gold medalist in the same Games tradition as swimmer Michael Phelps.

He finished 2024 with $29.2 million in official money, a new single-season record, and won his first FedEx Cup, worth a $25 million bonus.

Two more majors (2025)

Scheffler won six times in 2025. The big ones were the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in May, worth $3.42 million, and The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in July, worth $3.1 million.

He also won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in his hometown area, the Memorial, the BMW Championship and the Procore Championship. His official money was $27.7 million, just below his 2024 record.

He topped the regular-season standings for a $10 million bonus and won the Comcast Business Top 10 for another $8 million. Tommy Fleetwood won the FedEx Cup that year, while Scheffler tied for fourth at the Tour Championship.

Passing Tiger Woods (2026)

Scheffler won The American Express in January 2026, a $1.66 million check that pushed his career on-course earnings past $100 million. Only Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy had reached that mark before him.

The 2026 season brought no major title. He was runner-up at the Masters, tied for 14th at the PGA Championship and tied for fourth at both the U.S. Open and The Open. But he finished second five times and kept piling up money.

In August he won the FedEx St. Jude Championship ($3.6 million). Two weeks later he came from three shots behind Viktor Hovland to win the Tour Championship by three. That earned him $10 million, a second FedEx Cup and a $23 million bonus, paid as $22 million in cash and $1 million into his retirement account.

The win made him the PGA Tour’s all-time money leader with $130,390,661, according to the Tour’s official career list. His $30.9 million in official 2026 money was another single-season record. That kind of sustained dominance has drawn comparisons with Max Verstappen‘s title run in Formula 1.

Endorsements and sponsors

Scheffler earns far less off the course than on it. Sportico estimated his off-course income at about $30 million for the year to April 2026, compared with $55 million for Rory McIlroy and $54 million for Tiger Woods. He has said he limits commercial work to protect his practice time and family life.

Brand	Category	Since
Nike	Apparel and shoes	2022
TaylorMade	Clubs and putter	2022
Titleist	Golf ball (Pro V1)	Long-time player
Rolex	Watches	2022
NetJets	Private aviation	2022
Veritex Community Bank / Huntington Bank	Banking; Huntington logo on his bag from 2026	2020 (Veritex)
Turtlebox	Portable speakers	2025

Veritex, a Dallas bank, was one of his first sponsors. After Veritex merged with Huntington Bank in 2025, Huntington signed him as a lead ambassador and put its logo on his TaylorMade bag starting with the 2026 season.

His deals are modest by the standard of global stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, who has led Forbes’ list of the highest-paid athletes in recent years mainly through commercial income. For Scheffler, winning is still the main business.

Player Impact Program

The Player Impact Program (PIP) was a PGA Tour bonus pool that paid the players who drove the most fan and media interest. It ran from 2021 to 2024 and paid Scheffler about $19.5 million in total:

• 2022: 6th place, $5.5 million
• 2023: 5th place, $6 million
• 2024: 2nd place behind Tiger Woods, $8 million

The Tour ended the PIP after 2024 and replaced it with an equity-based program for its top players.

Real estate

Scheffler lives in Dallas, where he grew up. He and Meredith bought a house in the city’s Bluffview area in 2020.

Property	Year	Reported price
Ranch-style home, Bluffview, Dallas	2020	About $2.1 million (reported)

The house was built in 1946 and has been updated, with five bedrooms and a pool, according to published reports. Property records have not been independently confirmed, so treat the price as a reported figure. Texas has no state income tax, which helps him keep more of what he earns.

Personal life

Scheffler married his high school sweetheart, Meredith Scudder, in 2020 in Dallas. Their first son, Bennett, was born in May 2024, shortly before the PGA Championship. Their second son, Remy, was born on March 27, 2026, days before the Masters.

He is open about his Christian faith and often says golf is not the most important thing in his life. His caddie since 2021 has been Ted Scott.

2024 Louisville arrest

On May 17, 2024, Scheffler was arrested while driving into Valhalla Golf Club before the second round of the PGA Championship. Traffic was in chaos after a fatal accident near the gate, and police said he did not follow an officer’s directions.

He was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer and three lesser offenses, and was released the same morning. He returned to shoot 66. On May 29, 2024, prosecutors dropped all charges, saying the evidence backed his account that it was “a big misunderstanding.”

Philanthropy

• Donated his full $500,000 2025 Ryder Cup payment to organizations in Dallas, without naming them
• Gave $50,000 to Triumph Over Kid Cancer in 2019
• Auctioned his old 2012 GMC Yukon XL in 2024, with proceeds going to the same charity
• Supports junior golf through the Northern Texas PGA Foundation and “Scottie’s Heroes,” which gives clubs to children in cancer treatment
