Scottie Scheffler on the cusp of breaking a PGA Tour mark Tiger Woods has held for 26 years
Scottie Scheffler is on the cusp of breaking a PGA Tour record that Tiger Woods has held for over 26 years. The record, which means little to the world's No. 1 player, is due to various factors in play. Scheffler, who has won 21 PGA Tour victories in the last five years, is just $1,034,756 away from surpassing Woods on the career earnings list.
He could secure the record by finishing third in the BMW Championship. With prize money increasing due to Woods' impact and the emergence of LIV Golf, it was inevitable. Scheffler himself acknowledges the significance of the purses and their impact on the game. Despite the financial implications, Scheffler remains focused on his performance.
He credits Woods for the substantial growth in purses, expressing gratitude for his contributions to golf.
