Scottie Scheffler continues to dominate both at home in Dallas and on the PGA Tour as the season nears its conclusion at the Tour Championship. Last week, he received a $23 million bonus as the leader in the FedEx Cup. Scheffler's PGA Tour earnings have topped $20 million for the fourth year in a row, and his success is well-known among his peers.

Dallas-based golfer Gary Woodland remarked that Si Woo Kim, who frequently loses to Scheffler, jokingly calls Scheffler his "ATM." Woodland, who now resides in South Florida, visits Dallas for training camps and often plays with Scheffler.

As the Tour Championship unfolds, other contenders like Patrick Cantlay will compete to secure their place alongside Scheffler.
