Scottie Scheffler officially finished as the FedEx Cup regular-season leader after the Wyndham Championship.
That means Scheffler won the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 for the second time in three years, earning an $8 million bonus before he hits a shot in this week's playoff opener at the FedEx St. Jude Classic at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
Scheffler's bonus was double that of last year's winner, Jon Rahm. Scheffler earned $3 millon for finishing second to Rahm and picked up $4 million in 2022. That brings his total from the Tour Top 10 to $10 million.
Xander Schauffele was second and received a $6 million bonus. Rory McIlroy ($4.8 million), Collin Morikawa ($4.4 million) and Wyndham Clark ($4 million) rounded out the top five.
Scheffler enters the week with six victories this season, highlighted by the Masters and The Players Championship. Two weeks ago, he shot 62 in the final round to win the Olympic gold medal.
Scheffler has already earned a record $28,148,691 this season, with the potential to earn a share of the combined purses of $115 million for the St. Jude Classic, next week's BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colo., and the Tour Champions at East Lake in Atlanta.
The first-place checks in the first two playoff events are $3.6 million. Winning the FedEx Cup would bring $18 million so the possibility exists that if Scheffler sweeps all three, his earnings would surpass $53 million.
For now, the Tour Top 10 bonus means he has more than $36 million in on-course earnings this season. That money alone would put Scheffler 40 on the PGA Tour's career money list - and he's already seventh and climbing, less than $1 million behind sixth-place Vijay Singh.
Who won last year? Lucas Glover won for the second week in a row when he parred the first playoff to beat Patrick Cantlay.
