Scottie Scheffler Leads PGA Tour Earnings Despite Winless Major Season

Scottie Scheffler's consistent performance at the Open Championship, where he tied for fourth, added $827,500 to his season earnings, pushing him close to $16 million. This marks his tenth top-10 finish in 16 starts this season and solidifies his position atop the PGA Tour money list for the fifth consecutive week, maintaining a lead of over $2 million. This strong showing followed his first missed cut in 78 starts the previous week at the Scottish Open.

Cameron Young also made a significant move, securing solo second at the Open Championship and earning $1,842,000. This performance elevated him to second on the money list, though he still trails Scheffler. Looking ahead to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scheffler is currently available at +500 (FanDuel), while Young is priced at +2200 (Bovada).

The Open Championship winner, Ryan Fox, saw a substantial boost to his season earnings, collecting a record $3.2 million. This victory propelled him from 58th to 21st on the money list, bringing his total earnings to over $5.4 million. Fox is listed at +10000 (FanDuel) for the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Despite a season without a major championship victory, a first in three years, Scheffler's consistent high finishes have been a hallmark of his play. His participation in the upcoming 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota, offers him another opportunity to extend his lead on the money list, provided he makes the cut. His ability to consistently contend, even without always closing out wins, underscores his financial dominance on the tour this season.
