Fort Myers Naples, FL, August 30, 2026 — Scottie Scheffler has officially surpassed golf legend Tiger Woods’ PGA Tour career earnings record, a significant milestone that had remained intact for nearly 26 years.

Scheffler’s career earnings on the PGA Tour have now climbed to exceed $130 million. This achievement was cemented following his victory at the Tour Championship, which included a substantial prize purse that propelled him over Woods’ long-standing record of over $120 million.

The previous record, held by Tiger Woods, represented a benchmark in professional golf earnings for over two and a half decades. Woods amassed his considerable earnings through a combination of tournament wins, endorsements, and other golf-related ventures throughout his illustrious career.

Scheffler’s rapid ascent to the top of the PGA Tour’s all-time earnings list is notable. The specific details regarding the exact total of Tiger Woods’ earnings or the precise prize money awarded to Scheffler for his Tour Championship win, beyond the figures cited, were not provided in the summary information.

The accomplishment places Scheffler in an elite category, continuing a period of dominance on the professional golf circuit. The Tour Championship is the final event of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs, known for awarding significant prize money to its top finishers.
