Forbes is a renowned American business magazine. Recently, the highly coveted magazine released its 30 under 30 lists for 2023. Surprisingly enough, only one professional golfer could make the cut. But the question arises, who is the lucky player?
Golf, as a sport, is renowned to be elitist in many ways. It also has limited accessibility and costs considerably higher. However, not everyone involved in the world of golf gets paid huge amounts. Golf rolls out the purses for players based on their performances. So clearly, top-level players earn way more than others. The matters of money get even more complicated when it comes to women’s golf.

This renowned golf star made the cut for Forbes 30 Under 30 List
Forbes recently released its highly awaited 30 under 30 list for the forthcoming year. The concept behind the same remains that the 30 highest earning people are selected from multiple fields under the age of 30 to highlight the highest incomes in different fields.
Only one pro golfer made it to the list issued for 2023. This famous representative of the golfing community on the Forbes list was none other than Scottie Scheffler.

Scheffler has made a fortune in golf in the last year. According to Forbes, “Scottie Scheffler shot to No. 1 in the world golf ranking.. setting a regular-season record for official on-course earnings at just over $14 million and endorsement income of $12 million over the past 12 months.”
Scheffler is at the peak of his career, both professionally and financially. The pro golfer seems to get better each day. His skill and efforts clearly are not going unrecognized as clearly demonstrated by the Forbes recent ranking.
Only golf player on the Forbes list chooses minimalism as a way of life
Even after his earnings skyrocketed to millions of dollars, the former world’s no. 1 golfer values minimalism at its core. This has been displayed in his everyday choices several times in the past.

Scheffler still chooses to drive his old Chevy Suburban back from his days at college. Apparently, the Chevy was a gift from Scheffler’s dad, Scott Scheffler during his days at the University of Texas and the pro golfer still values it the same.
Even after having all the resources in the world to get the best cars there are, Scottie chooses to value sentiments over luxury. His minimalist way of living is truly inspiration for fans.
