Scottie Scheffler’s 2024 season in numbers: PGA Tour star enjoys record breaking year – full results, prize money won and net worth
However that is only a small part of what is now becoming one of golf’s all-time years as Scheffler earning comparisons with some of the greatest to play the game.
The 28-year-old from New Jersey beat Tom Kim in a playoff to make the Travelers Championship his sixth title of the year.
Many of Scheffler’s statistics this season have led to comparisons with some of greatest years on the tour.
His current total of six wins in one season was last achieved by Woods in 2006, and the next target will be the eight that Woods achieved in 1999.

Per golf data analyst Justin Ray, he also joins Arnold Palmer (1962 and 1960) as the only player with six wins before July 1 since 1960 – not even Woods or Nicklaus managed that.
As well as a second Masters, he has added a second Players Championship, and second Arnold Palmer Invitational to his CV, while the RBC Heritage and Memorial Tournament have also been scooped up in 2024.
And for good measure his wife Meredith gave birth to their first child in May.
Scheffler has played 15 tournaments this year and has won 40% of the events he has teed it up in, making all 15 cuts for guaranteed prize money on every occasion.
Only once has he finished outside the top 25, that came at the U.S. Open in June, but he has 13 top 10 finishes in a remarkable season that has seen him collect more than $27.6milllon in prize money in 2024.
