Following his win at the Tour Championship, there's no doubt that Scottie Scheffler is on course to claim the Player of the Year honors, with the World No.1 regularly decimating the field of each event he enters.
Not only did he pick up a Major scalp at the Masters in April, but the American has secured multiple titles at PGA Tour Signature Events which, in turn, come with a very nice paycheck - some of which will have been shared with his caddie, Ted Scott.
Even when Scheffler hasn't won a tournament, he has has regularly secured an impressive result, with the 28-year-old scooping a number of top-10 finishes in some notable events.
Starting in January, Scheffler finished in a tie for fifth at The Sentry, with $690,500 picked up at the first Signature Event. From there, he finished 17th at The American Express to pick up $132,300, with a tie for sixth at the second Signature Event, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, giving him $642,500.
Amazingly, given his form down the line, Scheffler could only finish in a tie for third at the WM Phoenix Open and a tie for 10th at The Genesis Invitational. However, that still gave him $519,200 and $455,000 paydays, respectively.

Now, this is where the real fun begins, with Scheffler continuing to excel throughout the months of February, March and April. If you were to look at his 2022 and 2023 results, this is where every single one of his PGA Tour titles was won.
Playing the Arnold Palmer Invitational at the start of March, he picked up a second title, claiming $4m, with Scheffler defending his Players Championship title the week after, securing a $4.5m payday in the process.

Not done there, Scheffler almost won a third title on the bounce, but a short missed putt at the Texas Children's Houston Open meant a tie for second and a $553,735 paycheck. The runner-up spot only seemed to fire Scheffler up as, just two weeks later, he slipped on a second Green Jacket at the Masters, as well as claiming a $3.6m win.
For mere mortals, a win at a Major would often be followed by a down week, given the effort it takes to claim a title of that magnitude. Not so for Scheffler, who headed to the RBC Heritage and won in a Monday finish, as $3.6m brought his yearly winnings to well over $15m.

The next Major was the PGA Championship and, understandably, the 28-year-old was favorite to win it. However, no-one could foresee what would happen on the Friday morning, with Scheffler getting arrested following an accident outside Valhalla's front gates.
Despite this, he still finished in a tie for eighth and secured over $500,000. He then finished second at the Charles Schwab Challenge, claiming $809,900, as another Signature Event win at the Memorial Tournament gave him another $4m payday.
Although Scheffler finished in a tie for 41st at the US Open, his worse result of 2024, that was still $72,000 in the pocket. What's more, in the final Signature Event of the year, the Travelers Championship, it became a fourth trophy in five starts for Scheffler, who could have made it five from five if he had played at the Wells Fargo Championship.
Teeing it up next at The Open, Scheffler finished in a tie for seventh. That earned him a $451,833 paycheck, with the World No.1 then claiming the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Although he didn't take any money from the victory, it was an incredibly special result for the American.
The good news then continued as, just a few days later, it was revealed that Scheffler had secured the top spot of the PGA Tour's Comcast Business Top-10. Essentially, the top-10 leading players at the culmination of the PGA Tour's regular season share a bonus pool of $20m, with 40% going to Scheffler - that's another $8m.
Heading into the FedEx Cup Playoffs, Scheffler notched yet another top-10 via his solo fourth-place finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and earned an additional $960,000. The following week, at the BMW Championship, he ended T33rd and picked up $119,666.67.
Scottie Scheffler earned $25m with his FedEx Cup win
Scheffler's season-long achievements meant he was well clear of nearest rival Xander Schauffele in the FedEx Cup standings, and that handed him a two-shot advantage at the top of the leaderboard at FedEx Cup finale the Tour Championship.
Given his season, it seemed almost inevitable he would close out victory, and, despite a shank in the final round, he did it in style, stretching his lead to four to take the FedEx Cup and his biggest career payout to date - an incredible $25m, taking his earnings for the year to over $62m!
Not done there, Scheffler was part of the victorious US side at the Presidents Cup and, although it didn't warrant any prize money, the World No.1 secured the Hero World Challenge for another $1 million payday.
