Scheffler Tops $19M, Leads FedEx Cup Playoffs

Scottie Scheffler enters the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs as the No. 1 seed for the second straight year, after a season highlighted by four wins—including the British Open—and top-10 finishes despite an early hand injury. He leads the PGA Tour with over $19 million in earnings and has secured an $8 million bonus for topping the regular season standings, marking his third time in four years. The Playoffs begin with the St. Jude Championship, featuring quadrupled points and major payouts, with the top 50 advancing to the BMW Championship. Rory McIlroy, second in the standings, will miss the first Playoff event. Scheffler's off-course popularity has also risen, thanks to a viral 'Happy Gilmore 2' appearance and a themed chicken shack for fans. The PGA Tour now has 115 players with over $1 million in earnings, underscoring the financial growth driven by competition with LIV Golf.
