Scottie Scheffler's going to win the PGA Tour money ****** le after the Tour Championship Aug. 27-30 at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta unless he has a total collapse and Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick or Wyndham Clark win and take home the $10 million first-place check.
Scheffler's tie for 12th at the BMW Championship on Aug. 23 at Bellerive in St. Louis earned $426,250 and ****** ped his total earnings this season to $20,937,524. Young ($14,408,482), Fitzpatrick ($14,271,066) and BMW winner Clark ($14,236186) are the only players who can catch Scheffler for the money ****** le, and they need to win for that to happen. The $5 million second-place check won't cut it.
And a victory is no guarantee. If Young, for example, wins the Tour Championship and Scheffler finishes solo third ($3,705,000), he'd nose out Young for the money ****** le. Scheffler is guaranteed at least $355,000 for finishing last at East Lake.
No other player can catch Scheffler. Rory McIlroy, in fourth place, has $9,866,606 and a victory doesn't get him to Scheffler's haul through the BMW.
Another money milestone can fall this week. Both Scheffler and McIlroy can pass Tiger Woods on the career money list, a spot Woods has held for more than 26 years, since Feb. 13, 2000.
