Scottie Scheffler has banked more than $53 million in PGA Tour prize money and bonuses through the BMW Championship, extending a season built on two wins and five runner-up finishes.

How has Scheffler earned his money this season?

Scheffler opened 2026 with a win at The American Express worth $1.656 million, then added top-five finishes at the WM Phoenix Open and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am before a $415,000 check at the Genesis Invitational put him near $3.4 million through February. Three straight runner-up finishes followed at the Masters, the RBC Heritage and the Cadillac Championship, worth a combined $6.75 million and pushing his season total past $10 million.

His biggest single payday, $2.16 million, came at the Travelers Championship after a Monday playoff loss to Viktor Hovland. A T4 finish defending his Open Championship title at Royal Birkdale added $827,500, and a second win of the season at the FedEx St. Jude Championship carried him into the playoffs.

What has the FedEx Cup added to Scheffler's total?

A $426,500 check at the BMW Championship pushed Scheffler's official money past $20 million for the season, about $6.5 million clear of Cameron Young in second place. On top of that, he has collected a $10 million bonus for entering the playoffs atop the FedEx Cup standings and a further $23 million tied to his position on the points list ahead of the Tour Championship.

Scheffler's on-course prize money is only part of the number; the FedEx Cup bonuses account for well over half of his 2026 total.

The Loop take

Scheffler hasn't matched last year's major haul, but the runner-up streak and two wins are why he leads the Tour in nearly every meaningful statistical category. The FedEx Cup bonus structure means his final number will keep climbing regardless of how the Tour Championship goes.
