Scottie Scheffler is playing at the peak of his abilities, which has swiftly translated into some amazing profits on the PGA Tour.

In the past few weeks, he has gone on an amazing run of four wins in five starts, which has seen him win the RBC Heritage trophy, defeat the opposition at the Players Championship, and don his second Green Jacket at the Masters.

Unbelievably, his wife Meredith is about to give birth to their first child, so all of those victories come with a lot of background noise.
The baby will be well-prepared for life when it finally arrives because Scottie has won an incredible $16 million in just the last 44 days.

To put that into perspective, the Argentine World Cup winner receives $12 million in base pay annually from Inter Miami, which is more than his entire yearly salary.
It easily outperforms every MLB or NBA player, and it is double that of the next biggest American sports star.

According to ESPN, Stephen Curry will earn an incredible $51,915,615 in salary this 2023–24 season, making him the highest paid player in the NBA.

Curry has ‘only’ made $6,258,320 over the last 44 days, however, which is less than half of what Scheffler has amassed from his golf accomplishments.


According to Spotrac, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals is the NFL’s 2024 highest earner overall with $65,714,000.

Burrow has earned $7,921,672 in the last 44 days, which is still more than $4 million from the golf star, albeit it is closer to Scheffler’s $12 million.

Patrick Mahomes, on the other hand, makes $45,750,000 annually; in the last 44 days, he made $5,515,048.

Naturally, with that kind of money, he won’t go hungry, but it does highlight the remarkable success Scheffler has had at the top of the golf rankings.
With the exception of MLB rivals, Shohei Ohtani is the highest paid player in the league according to salary deferral, having inked a $700 million, ten-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.


His earnings over the last 44 days have been $8.4 million, much less than the top player in golf, even if he were to accept the full $70 million he is owed this year.

On March 10, Scheffler’s incredible journey into 2024 got underway when he won $4 million in prize money for topping the tree at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. The event took place over four days.

Following that, he proceeded directly to Sawgrass for the Players Championship, where he won an additional $4.5 million in just one week.


After taking a week off, he participated in the Texas Children’s Houston Open and finished in second place. He narrowly missed out on a chance to advance and face eventual winner Stephan Jaeger.


Scheffler received an additional $553,735 for that T2 finish even though he did not win.
But the American was back on the winning track at The Masters, taking home $3.6 million on Sunday after his second triumph at Augusta National.

A few days later, he had to make another quick turnaround to get to Hilton Head, but it was worthwhile because he once again topped the tree and took home an additional $3.6 million.

Scheffler’s priorities are going to shift in the future as he devotes more time to his family; by the time he plays another competitive round of golf, his family of two will have grown to three.


Scheffler isn’t scheduled to play again until the PGA Championship at Louisville’s Valhalla next month, where he will take on the world’s best players in an attempt to win the second major of the year.
