Scottie Scheffler is the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world. After recently winning the Fed Ex Cup title, his win count increased to seven for the year. He is the first golfer to achieve this feat since Tiger Woods in 2007. Following one of the most successful seasons by any golfer, Scheffler has placed himself amongst the greats.
Here is a closer look at the achievements and highlights of Scottie Scheffler’s 2024 PGA season.
Majors/Championships
Though winning any tournament is great for the resume and great for financial purposes, nothing quite has the effect of winning a major. Jack Nicklaus, PGA legend and arguably the best golfer ever, holds the record for most major victories with 18. Woods and others have found lots of success at majors, but no one has been able to catch Nicklaus.
Scheffler brought home one of the four majors in 2024 and finished in the top 5 in two others. Scottie now has two major victories, both coming from the Masters Tournament. While he still has a lot of his career ahead of him, winning majors is priority one. Outside of his Master’s victory, Scottie was the best in six other events. Though they aren’t majors, Scheffler captured multiple legendary championship titles, including the Players Championship and the Fed Ex Cup.
Other Success
Finding success came easy for Scottie Scheffler in 2024. Whether winning another major or breaking record after record for earnings in a year, it seemed as if every time you turned on the TV he was winning something. Though golf season recently came to a close in the PGA, Scottie still has a chance for another victory before the calendar year comes to an end. It was announced on September 4th that there will be a duel of tours between the PGA and LIV Golf. A victory there would add a unique and high honor for Scheffler’s career.
The year 2024 served as one of the greatest golf seasons of all time for Scheffler, and also as an election and Olympic year. Scottie suited up for Team USA and once again finished as the best, this time on a global stage. Earning the gold medal sets him apart from other golfing legends and was the perfect way to cap off his impressive season.
Final Thoughts
While the season did have its struggles, such as getting arrested on the way to a tournament and finishing a couple of shots short of even more success, it was a phenomenal year for Scheffler. In family news, he and his wife Meredith welcomed their baby son Bennett to the world in May, and have been a model family for sports fans. His seven victories earned him a combined $62.2 million on the course and reportedly has a net worth of around $90 million. Both on and off the course, it was a year to remember for Scottie Scheffler.
