Scottie Scheffler secured his 16th PGA Tour victory at Jack’s Place on Sunday. This past month has been incredibly successful for him. He won three of the four tournaments he entered, giving him a massive financial boost.
Scheffler’s first win came at the Byron Nelson, earning him $1.782 million in prize money. He chose to skip the $20 million Truist Championship, won by Sepp Straka, to get some rest.
His second victory came at the PGA Championship, giving him his third major title and $3.420 million. He then finished tied for fourth at the Charles Schwab Challenge (where Ben Griffin lifted the trophy), but still added $427,500 to his purse.
Finally, with his Memorial Tournament win, he took home $4 million, bringing his total winnings for the month to $9.629 million, nearly $10 million.
Scottie Scheffler is a devoted family man and attributes all his success over the past month to his wife, Meredith. Immediately after securing the win, he went into the crowd, where his wife was waiting while holding their son, Bennett, and embraced them both.
“We’re so excited!” Meredith exclaimed. “That was amazing… I’m so proud of you.”
Scheffler then took baby Bennett in his arms and shared heartfelt moments with him as the audience cheered and clapped for the winner.

Jack Nicklaus, the legend of the sport, was impressed by the World No. 1. He candidly said that today’s competition at the top wasn’t on par with Scheffler’s level of skill. If Xander Schauffele or another top golfer had been there, things would have been a bit tougher for Scheffler.
“He is such a good player, and he drove the ball beautifully today,” Nicklaus said. “He never put himself in jeopardy; he didn’t put himself in a position to lose the golf tournament. He was always in a position to win.”
