Tiger Woods’s Legacy Faces Tremendous Thréat as LIV Golf CEO Sends Scottie Scheffler a cheat code message on how to easily break all Tiger Woods Records. Details below ⬇️
His cumulative tally at this stage of the season is already the all-time record
Scottie Scheffler secured his sixth victory of the year on the PGA Tour this past Sunday by winning the Travelers Championship. This latest win marks his twelfth career victory on the U.S. golf circuit.
In 2024, Scheffler, who is currently ranked as the number one golfer in the world, has claimed titles at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, The Players Championship, The Masters, RBC Heritage, The Memorial Tournament, and now the Travelers Championship, making it five elevated tournaments and one major.
Only a few golfers have reached the month of July with six victories in a single season, including legendary names such as Jimmy Demaret (1940), Byron Nelson (1945), Ben Hogan (1946), Sam Snead (1950), and Arnold Palmer (1960 and 1962).
Over the past 40 years, the list of players who have won at least six times in one PGA Tour season is short: Tiger Woods (six times), Vijay Singh, and Nick Price.
The record for most wins in a year is held by Woods and Nelson, with nine. It remains to be seen how far Scheffler will go this season.
Scheffler is on the brink of entering the historical podium of PGA Tour earnings. So far this season, the 28-year-old has amassed $27,696,858, far surpassing any of his peers.
The next closest are Xander Schauffele ($12,636,360) and Rory McIlroy ($10,034,665).
Scheffler currently holds the record for the most earnings in a single year with $21,014,342 during the 2022/23 season, followed by Jon Rahm with $16,522,608 in the same season.
Comparison to Past Greats
To put Scheffler’s earnings in perspective, Tiger Woods earned $10.8 million in the 2006/07 season, and Vijay Singh earned $10.9 million in 2004.
Meanwhile, in the LIV Golf circuit, the highest earner this year is Joaquín Niemann, with $12,039,500, excluding team competition earnings.
Scheffler is poised to soon enter the top three in the all-time PGA Tour earnings list. Currently, Tiger Woods remains at the top of this prestigious list.
As Scheffler continues his impressive performance this season, he is set to solidify his place among the greats in golf history.
