  "account": "Scottie Scheffler, a rising star in golf, clinched the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, securing a $10 million prize and surpassing Tiger Woods in the PGA Tour's career money earnings. As of January 2022, Scheffler had not won a single PGA Tour event prior to this victory, making him the all-time money winner on the PGA Tour. The 28-year-old athlete and his family, including his young son Remy and wife Meredith with their older son Bennett, were present for the ceremony, celebrating Scheffler's achievement alongside PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp. In his career so far, Scheffler has won 22 tournaments out of 82 titles by Woods, and has spent 207 weeks at the top of the world rankings compared to Woods' record 683 weeks. If Scheffler maintains his impressive performance, he is expected to match Woods' streak of consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the world in approximately two years. However, Scheffler is not immune to injuries and illnesses, which could potentially impact his career. Despite the challenges, Scheffler's dedication to the game and his commitment to honing the less glamorous aspects of it have contributed to his success, positioning him as one of the top golfers of all time.",
