Scottie Scheffler could make $60M in 2024 earnings… with world No 1 on track to pocket more than any NFL, MLB or NBA star
Scottie Scheffler has left all of his PGA Tour rivals trailing in his wake this season and the world No 1 could even outstrip the highest earners in baseball, basketball and football.
Scheffler has already won six times on the PGA Tour in 2024, including at The Masters and last week’s Travelers Championship.
That has seen the 28-year-old pocket $27,696,858 in the last six months alone – more than double the amount of Xander Schauffele – the next highest earner ($12,636,360).

t’s thought his teammate, pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, will take home the most of any MLB player this season ($55,000,000).
The highest earner in the NBA for 2024/25, meanwhile, is Stephen Curry. The Golden State Warriors star will take home $55,761,216.
That is $7m less than Joe Burrow, who makes the highest average annual salary in the NFL. The Bengals quarterback pockets $62.9m a year.
Scheffler’s incredible 2024 has hit a few road bumps, including at the PGA Championship – where he was sensationally arrested – and at the US Open, where he barely made the cut.
