Scottie Scheffler has earned an $8 million bonus for finishing No. 1 on the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 for the 2024 PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup regular season, marking the second No. 1 finish in three years for Scheffler.
Scheffler won six tournaments during the 2024 PGA Tour campaign, including four signature events and his second grand slam win at The Masters – becoming the first golfer to win six or more tournaments in a season since Tiger Woods in 2009. Scheffler also earned his first gold medal by winning the Paris 2024 men’s golf tournament on Aug. 4 in Guyancourt, France.
The 28-year-old World No. 1 said in a statement: “It’s been an incredible year for me both on and off the course, so to finish up the regular season by earning the top spot in the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 is an honor. Every year I try to perform and compete to the best of my abilities, so this award really represents the hard work put in throughout the course of the season with the support of my family and team.”
Eileen Diskin, chief marketing officer for Comcast Business, said in a statement: “Scottie Scheffler’s season has been nothing short of incredible — including a historic back-to-back win at The Players Championship and now winning the Comcast Business Tour Top 10. We’re excited to see him on top of the Leaderboard again along with all the elite athletes who earned their positions this year.”
Xander Schauffele finished second and received a $6 million bonus, after claiming his first two major wins at the PGA Championship and The Open. Rory McIlroy finished third, earning $4.8 million, with Collin Morikawa ($4.4M) and Wyndham Clark ($4M) rounding out the top five.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs will start this week with the St. Jude Championship. That tournament will be held from Thursday through Sunday in Memphis.
