Scottie Scheffler moved closer to Tiger Woods' PGA Tour career earnings mark after collecting $426,250 for tying for 12th in the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club. Scheffler now has $120,390,661 in official PGA Tour money, roughly $600,000 shy of Woods' mark of $120,999,166.
Scheffler has been No. 1 in the world and topped the FedExCup points list. He recently bumped Rory McIlroy from No. 2 on the all-time list with his 8-shot win in Memphis. Both players could potentially be No. 1 after the playoff finale, the Tour Championship, which offers a $40 million purse.
The winner of the Tour Championship will get $10 million and solo second is worth $5 million. According to Yahoo Sports, Scheffler would need roughly a 13th-place finish to surpass Woods, while McIlroy could leap past both Scheffler and Woods depending on his performance at East Lake.
