TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZE MONEY PAYOUT: SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER EARNS ASTONISHING $3.6 MILLION CHECK
Scottie Scheffler earned his sixth PGA Tour victory since January 1 on Sunday as he defeated Tom Kim to win the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.
He officially won four of the eight Signature Events with the Travelers over. The former Texas Longhorn’s other two wins include the 2024 Players Championship and a second Masters in three years.
The only way to put it is that Scheffler is on a heater.
He is on one historic run as he became the latest player to win six or more times in a single season since Tiger Woods in 2009. The 28-year-old also became the first player since Arnold Palmer did it in 1962 to win six times before July 1.
With this victory, Scheffler took home a $3.6 million check, bringing his 2024 total to $27,696,858.
He continues to break his single-season record. With the Open Championship and FedEx Cup playoffs, there is no telling what the final total could be.
Since his first Signature Event victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on March 10, Scheffler has won roughly $23 million.
Kim also took home a nice $2.6 million check for finishing second behind one of his best friends. Tony Finau, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas and Akshay Bhatia split fifth place, each winning $702,500.
This week’s tournament did not feature a cut, so everyone who played received a check.
With a $20 million purse, let’s break down how much each player made at the Travelers Championship.
