“It was an emotional, perfect week that ended with a beautiful victory. Explaining the year that has happened in words is something really complicated”
Scottie Scheffler takes it all. After The Masters and the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, now the FedEx Cup is his too. The world number 1 triumphed in Atlanta at the Tour Championship, the final act of the PGA Tour play-offs, and won the super jackpot of 25 million dollars.
The total dollars won by the American cannibal, now designated heir to Tiger Woods, the last golfer who managed to win (in 2007) seven times on the top American circuit, are now 62,228,357. With his exploit at the Olympics, the American has won eight tournaments this year.
Scottie Scheffler, results
In his 103rd week as leader of the world ranking, the 68th consecutive, for the third year in a row he has distinguished himself as the player who has earned the most on the circuit. As if that were not enough, Scheffler, at his 13th win on the PGA Tour (including two Majors) since the “starting strokes” format was introduced in 2019, is the second golfer (after Patrick Cantlay in 2021) to record a “wire-to-wire” victory.
After the reset of the points converted into strokes before the start of the tournament, he started from a total of “-10” (he closed with “-30”) and led the race far and wide. Only his compatriot Collin Morikawa, 2/o with “-26” (he started from “-4”) tried to keep up with him.
Too strong for everyone, Scheffler. Also a champion of earnings (in addition to the 25 million dollars he received another 8 in bonuses for the Top 10 recorded this year) and of faith. “It was an emotional, perfect week that ended with a beautiful victory.
Explaining the year that has happened in words is something really complicated. It was a fantastic, memorable season, and for this I have to thank my family and my team”. These are the first words of Scottie Scheffler, number 1 in the world, after the triumph in Atlanta in the FedEx Cup that earned him 25 million dollars. And this is all about Scheffler.
