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.

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.
