Sounding like something out of a fairy tale, Scottie Scheffler, the reigning Olympic champion, found himself $8 million richer this past weekend—all while relaxing on the couch with his family. While many of his peers were battling it out at the Wyndham Championship and the women were competing in golf at the Olympics in Paris, Scheffler opted for a quieter weekend at home with his wife Meredith and their baby, Bennett.
Scottie Scheffler Collects Big Bonus
Despite not swinging a club, the World No. 1 golfer saw his bank account swell overnight, thanks to the “Comcast Business Tour Top 10” bonus. Scheffler secured this massive payout by dominating the season-long points race, a competition that concluded with the Wyndham Championship. His lead was so substantial that no one could catch him, ensuring he would take home the top prize.
This windfall brings Scheffler’s earnings for the season to an astounding $36.148 million, including both prizes and bonuses. And the season isn’t over yet. With the FedEx Cup Playoffs just around the corner, there are still several lucrative opportunities on the horizon.
Scheffler’s success this year is nothing short of remarkable, and his latest financial gain—earned without lifting a finger—highlights just how dominant he has been throughout the season. As the playoffs loom, all eyes will be on Scheffler to see if he can continue this incredible run and add even more to his already impressive earnings.
