With a dramatic come-from-behind win at The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass on March 17, Scottie Scheffler collected a cool $4.5 million, the largest winner’s share of the young 2024 PGA Tour season.
Scheffler, of course, won another $4 million just seven days earlier on March 10, with a victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. In just seven starts, the world’s top-ranked player has already earned $10,939,500 this season, giving him a commanding lead on the 2024 PGA Tour
Wyndham Clark, who finished second in each of the last two events, sits in second with just over $7.896 million in on-course earnings.
PGA Tour purses have grown exponentially over the last quarter-century and even more so in the last two seasons with the addition of Signature Events, which were essentially an answer to the big purses distributed by LIV Golf.
