  "account": "Scottie Scheffler's impressive performance at the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta has propelled him past Tiger Woods as the PGA Tour's all-time earnings leader. As a result of the tournament's $10 million winner's purse, Scheffler's career earnings now stand at an impressive $130,390,661. He had previously been just $608,505 behind Woods. This victory marks Scheffler's third PGA Tour win in 2021. Before this triumph, he had taken second place at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which he won in February, marking his first victory of the year. Although Scheffler finished third at the BMW Championship in St. Louis, he managed to surpass Woods on the money list with a three-stroke lead over Norwegian Viktor Hovland. Hovland, who led after the third round, ultimately finished in second place. Throughout this unusual year, Scheffler has maintained his ranking as the world's top golfer, and despite a nearly half-year winless streak, he has finished in the top five 13 times and earned over $30 million on the PGA Tour this season.",
