Scottie Scheffler continued his dominant 2025 season by winning the BMW Championship, his fifth PGA Tour victory of the year. The win solidifies his status as the world No. 1 and keeps a historic earnings run within reach.
Official earnings this year stand at $23,962,883, a figure that underscores how lucrative Scheffler’s on-course success has been. A year ago, with seven victories, he posted a Tour-record $29,228,357 in official earnings, not including bonus money from the Tour Championship.
This year’s playoff structure adds an official purse at the Tour Championship. If Scheffler defends his title, he’ll collect $10,000,000 and push toward a new single-season standard.
Here is what the world No. 1 has earned in 2025, including bonuses:
– $23,962,883: Official PGA Tour earnings
– $10,000,000: Season-long FedExCup leader
– $8,000,000: Comcast Business Tour Top 10 winner
– $5,000,000: FedExCup leader after the BMW Championship
Total: $46,962,883 in official earnings based on on-course results this season
If he also wins the Tour Championship, that $10 million purse would lift his official season total to $56,962,883, potentially establishing a new single-season benchmark. This season’s numbers reflect Scheffler’s extraordinary consistency and ability to rack up points and bonuses across the FedExCup schedule.
Context and outlook:
– The year has featured five PGA Tour victories for Scheffler, reinforcing his grip on the top of the game.
– His earnings narrative remains closely tied to the FedExCup race and the Tour Championship payoff, which could redefine what a record-setting season looks like financially.
– The 2024 figure mentioned (a Tour-record $29,228,357 in official earnings) illustrates how much a bonus-rich season can amplify a player’s total, and this year’s potential adds a new layer to that comparison.
Summary:
Scottie Scheffler’s BMW Championship win keeps him at the forefront of golf’s elite, with a staggering mix of official earnings and lucrative bonuses available as the FedExCup finale approaches. His current pace suggests he’s positioned not just for a strong finish, but for a possible record-setting season financially—should he add Tour Championship glory to his already remarkable 2025 resume. Positive momentum remains high for Scheffler as the calendar moves toward the playoff climax.
