Scottie Scheffler has done it again.
The golfer continued his dominant season with a win at the Masters on Sunday, maintaining his top spot in golf’s rankings, and has now won the most prize money ($ 15 million) this year by an incredible margin. The player with the next highest tournament earnings is $ 7.9 million, won by fellow American Wyndham Clark.
Scheffler, 27, took in a record $ 3.6 million for his victory at Augusta National’s 2024 Masters Tournament, which was about $ 400,000 more than 2023 tournament winner John Rahm ($ 3.24 million).

In addition to the top performers, there were a number of notable players who were eligible to receive prize money based on their Masters showings.
That included Tiger Woods ($ 39,600), who made the cut but ended up finishing 16 shots over par; Phil Mickelson ($ 72,000), who finished eight shots over par; and amateur Neal Shipley. Shipley qualified to get more than $ 40,000 for finishing in 53rd place, but is ineligible to receive the money because he plays on the Ohio State golf team and is therefore an amateur.

After winning the Masters by four strokes, Scheffler remained No. 1 in the world rankings, by a margin not seen since Tiger Woods. Scheffler doesn’t have a round over par in any of his nine tournaments this year and has earned over $ 15 million.
“I feel like I’m as in control of my emotions as I’ve ever been, which is a good place to be,” Scheffler said. “It’s hard to argue with the results of the last few weeks. I’ve played some really good golf.”
“I don’t plan on taking my eye off the ball anytime soon,” he added about his recent dominant run on the PGA Tour.
While it seems like the world’s top-ranked player would often win a major tournament like the Masters, that hasn’t been the case historically.
Scheffler is just the fifth player to win the Masters while holding the No. 1 spot since the rankings were instituted in 1986. He joins a list that contains Ian Woosnam (1991), Fred Couples (1992), Woods (2001 and 2022) and Dustin Johnson (2020).

One group that was happy to see Scheffler win was golf bettors. He was the most wagered-on golfer to win the tournament, as 12% of all bets made on the Masters were on him, representing 15% of all money wagered on the tournament winner, according to data from DraftKings DKNG, +2.79% sportsbook.
No pre-tournament betting favorite had won at Augusta National since Tiger Woods did in 2005.
The win for Scheffler represents a small win for the PGA Tour too, at least in the short term.
Merger talks between the PGA and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf remain ongoing after the rival organizations initially agreed to create a unified entity last summer. Scheffler is a PGA player, and it’s likely the tour would have preferred a win by one of its own players vs. an LIV player. LIV Golf has been luring players away from the PGA Tour with high participation fees, like $ 300 million to Jon Rahm, $ 200 million to Mickelson and $ 150 million to Johnson.
Of the 13 LIV players who received invitations to the 2024 Masters, eight made the cut, and three of those — Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith and Tyrrell Hatton — finished in the top 10. But none of them made a serious run at the fabled green jacket, as no LIV player finished within nine strokes of Scheffler.
