Scheffler winning big at home and on the PGA Tour as season comes to an end at Tour Championship

Scottie Scheffler is having an outstanding season leading up to the Tour Championship in Atlanta. He recently received a $23 million bonus as the top-ranked player in the FedEx Cup standings. Scheffler's earnings on the PGA Tour have surpassed $20 million for the fourth consecutive year.

Living in Dallas, Scheffler enjoys playing at home courses like Royal Oaks and Si Woo Kim often jokes about Scheffler being his "ATM." Woodland, who now works with Scheffler's former teacher, notes that Scheffler's competitive spirit is evident both on and off the course.

The Tour Championship will be held at East Lake Golf Club, the highest-stakes event of the year, with a $10 million first-place prize. While Scheffler aims to add to his four-year streak of PGA Tour player of the year awards, he is also in contention to take the title from U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark. The pressure is on for Scheffler to secure his place atop the PGA Tour's earnings list.
