Scottie Scheffler may not have won the Tour Championship or this year’s FedExCup, but the No. 1 player in the world did top the PGA Tour’s official money list for the fourth consecutive season.

Scheffler’s T-4 finish at the Tour Championship earned him another $2.61 million, boosting his 2025 tournament prize money total to $26.58 million. That’s more than $8 million clear of second place, as Tommy Fleetwood’s $10 million payday at the Tour Championship vaulted him past Rory McIlroy in official money (although McIlroy made more when factoring in bonus money).

The $40 million purse at the Tour Championship was considered official prize money. Previously, Tour Championship prize money was considered bonus money and did not count toward a golfer’s official season or career earnings.

Here are the top 10 PGA Tour golfers in official prize money this season, with the amount they earned including bonuses in parentheses:

1. Scottie Scheffler: $26.58 million ($49.58 million)

2. Tommy Fleetwood: $18.49 million ($22.7 million)

3. Rory McIlroy: $16.99 million ($30.49 million)

4. Russell Henley: $14.63 million ($20.73 million)

5. J.J. Spaun: $12.89 million ($18.49 million)

6. Justin Thomas: $10.88 million ($16.05 million)

7. Sepp Straka: $10.65 million ($17.23 million)

8. Ben Griffin: $9.99 million ($14.99 million)

9. Patrick Cantlay: $9.4 million ($9.67 million)

10. Justin Rose: $8.86 million ($10.36 million)

Seven players made more than $10 million in official money, and nine made eight figures when factoring in bonus money. The PGA Tour restructured how it distributes FedExCup bonus money this season, paying out bonuses after the end of the regular season and after the second playoff event.

Scheffler Passes Mickelson

With his performance at the Tour Championship, Scheffler passed Phil Mickelson in all-time PGA Tour career earnings. Scheffler’s official career earnings now stand at $98.37 million, which is third behind Tiger Woods ($120.99 million) and Rory McIlroy ($107.98 million). Mickelson is now in fourth place with $96.72 million.

Scheffler has made $55.78 million in official money the last two seasons on the PGA Tour, and when including bonus money, he brought in $111.78 million during the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
