  "account": "Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have solidified their positions as the top two earners on the PGA Tour after the BMW Championship. Though Scheffler took home $426,250 and finished tied for 12th at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, he remains $600,000 behind Tiger Woods' career earnings on the PGA Tour. As of now, Woods' official earnings stand at $120,999,166, while Scheffler's total is $120,390,661.\n\nScheffler has held the top spot since February 13, 2000, and he currently leads the all-time rankings. Just last week, Scheffler's impressive 8-shot victory in Memphis propelled him ahead of Rory McIlroy, who had previously held the second position. Both players could potentially take the top spot after the upcoming PGA Tour playoff finale, the Tour Championship, which offers a $40 million purse.\n\nIn order to surpass Woods, Scheffler would need to secure roughly a 13th-place finish in the championship. Meanwhile, McIlroy, who has amassed $117,848,372, could leap past both Scheffler and Woods depending on his performance at the upcoming Tour Championship at East Lake.",
