World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has currently earned more prize-money in his last three PGA Tour events than all but four players ahead of him on the Tour’s complete official 2o26 money-list.
Scheffler’s third straight second place finish at the Cadillac Championship has seen the Texan join Spaniard Sergio Garcia as the only players in the history of the Tour to record three straight runner-up placings in their careers.
As we know, Scheffler was runner-up at The Masters, second also at the RBC Heritage and finished second, albeit it six shots behind, Cameron Young on Sunday at Trump Doral.

The hat-trick of second place efforts earned Scheffler $ 2.430m (The Masters), $2.16m (RBC Heritage) and $2.18m (Cadillac Championship) for a combined three-earnings total of $6.77m.
That’s more than just slightly more – $56,000 – than Rory McIlroy’s earned in his six PGA events and including $4.2m in retaining the Masters.
As well, it is also more than the 196 others appearing on the top-199 PGA Tour new season money-earning top-199 standing.
