Scottie Scheffler sets single-season PGA Tour money record
Matt Fitzpatrick won the 2022 U.S. Open, but Scottie Scheffler still snagged a little bit of the spotlight for setting the record for most money earned in a single PGA Tour season.
The 25-year-old pro banked $1.56 million after coming in second place at the Open, bringing his current season total to almost $13 million with seven weeks left on the Tour event calendar.
Scheffler surpassed Jordan Spieth, who previously held the record with $12,030,465 earned in 2015.
The New Jersey native has had a strong hold on the No. 1 spot in the World Golf Ranking since winning The Masters in April. He has won four out of six tournaments this season and been the runner-up three times, including showings at the Charles Schwab Challenge, and, of course, the U.S. Open. Scheffler ended the Open just one stroke behind Fitzpatrick, tied for second place with Will Zalatoris.
The 2022 PGA Tour continues with the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., later this week.
