Moreover, Scheffler is now the leader of the PGA Tour Money Leader’s list for 2022. He has also joined the likes of Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth on the list of the highest earnings in a single season. Scottie is placed in the sixth position with his earnings in the 2022 season.

The icing on the cake is what he accumulated in earnings over two incredibly impressive months. He has surpassed John Daly on the PGA Tour Career Money Leaders List. John Daly sits in 209th position on the list with earnings of $10,270,681. Whereas, Scottie sits in the 141st position with overall earnings of $$14,967,146. Not to forget, the list is only up until the 2022 Valero Texas Open and does not include Scheffler’s earnings from the Masters. Moreover, with the rest of the season yet to come, we can expect the World Number One to win more and make a significant leap on the list.
