Scottie Scheffler is having another big season going into the final tournament of the year at the Tour Championship in Atlanta. He picked up a $23 million bonus last week as the leading player in the FedEx Cup. His PGA Tour earnings are over $20 million for the fourth consecutive year. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Scheffler loves to play when he's at home in Dallas, whether that's at Royal Oaks or any other course in town. That often involves Si Woo Kim, who said earlier this year of their one-sided money matches, "He calls me ATM."
"Si Woo's getting a lot of hard gr..." Scheffler said, praising Kim's game and noting their rivalry has turned into friendship.
The Tour Championship will be held at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. It is the finale of the PGA Tour season, where the top 30 golfers compete for the FedEx Cup title. Scheffler arrives as the favorite, having shown consistent play throughout the season.
His financial numbers are impressive: a $23 million bonus for the FedEx Cup, and PGA Tour earnings exceeding $20 million. This could be one of the most successful seasons of his career.
Other participants include Gary Woodland, Si Woo Kim, and Wyndham Clark. Clark won the BMW Championship last week in St. Louis, taking home the Wanamaker Trophy and the BMW trophy.
Scheffler's goal is to secure the FedEx Cup victory and end the season with another win. He is confident in his game and fully prepared for the tournament.
The Tour Championship begins Thursday and concludes Sunday. All eyes are on Scheffler, who could cap off his remarkable season with another trophy.
