Rory McIlroy vs Scottie Scheffler: Awards and Deals

Rory McIlroy had a standout year in 2025. He won the Masters Tournament to complete the career Grand Slam, which placed him among legends like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and others. The Northern Irishman also earned his sixth Association of Golf Writers Trophy, the most by any player. Besides that, he took home his 7th Race to Dubai title.

The DP World Tour also announced the creation of the Rory McIlroy Award, a new annual trophy to honor excellence in major championships, cementing his legacy. But if that is not enough, he is also in contention to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. He is favored by the betting odds, but faces tough competition from Lando Norris.

Scottie Scheffler, on the other hand, was named the PGA Tour Player of the Year for the fourth consecutive time in 2025. This came after his six victories, including two majors — the PGA Championship and The Open Championship. He also won the Byron Nelson Award for the third straight year and led the PGA Tour in scoring averages across all rounds.

As for the deals, a large part of both golfers’ net worth comes from sponsorships and endorsement deals. Both golfers continue to dominate the sport with their impressive track records and marketability. So, it’s no surprise that they can secure lucrative endorsement deals.

Rory McIlroy has partnered with major brands like Omega, TaylorMade, Nike, and Optum. His Nike deal alone is worth around $100 million. McIlroy’s partnership with TaylorMade is also worth a pretty penny, and he’s been vocal about his excitement, saying, “My future rests firmly in my hands — that’s why I choose TaylorMade.” These partnerships have not only boosted his bank account but also cemented his status as one of the most marketable golfers in the game.

McIlroy has also made strategic investments, not just in the form of money, but also time and expertise. The 29-time PGA Tour winner is said to have a $20 million mansion in Jupiter, Florida. Besides that, he has $12 million in real estate in California, a New York apartment, a Dubai villa, and a 200-acre castle in Northern Ireland, according to Golfers Authority. His most commonly known strategic alliance comes with Tiger Woods. The two have co-founded TGL, which is valued at $500 million.

Apart from this collaboration with Tiger Woods, he also founded Symphony Ventures. It is a private capital fund focused on tech, sports, and health startups. Symphony Ventures recently partnered with TPG to create TPG Sports. Through Symphony Ventures, he also invested in companies like Whoop, which skyrocketed from $1.3 billion to $3.6 billion in value, according to Golfers Authority. Rory is also part-owner of the Alpine Formula 1 Team.

Scottie Scheffler’s endorsement portfolio is equally impressive. He’s partnered with Nike for his apparel, rocking their gear from shirts to shoes, and TaylorMade for his clubs and golf balls. Even his bag is sponsored, sporting the TaylorMade branding. Scheffler’s also teamed up with Rolex and NetJets, showing that his appeal extends beyond the course. With his calm personality and clean image, he’s landed some “sweet” off-course partnerships that go beyond just slapping logos on his hat. These deals aren’t just business; they’re built on shared values and a mutual desire to shine.

The World No. 1 has recently signed another deal with Turtlebox Audio. Turtlebox Audio is not a typical golf sponsor, which makes this deal unique and strategic. The deal occurred in November 2025 and was announced by Turtlebox Audio through its blog and social media accounts.

Scottie is widely known to own a property in Dallas, Texas, where he resides. The modest 5,000 square feet home was purchased for $2.1 million, and its current value could be around $3.2 million. He also owns a condo near Scottsdale, Arizona.

The World No.1 is known to have a down-to-earth lifestyle. Therefore, he doesn’t even own any flashy cars. Until late 2024, he owned a GMC Yukon XL, which his father had bought back in 2018. He auctioned the car in late 2024 to raise money for the Triumph Over Kid Cancer (TOKC). After that, he was spotted riding a Lexus TX350.

As for investments, Scottie only has one, which is the Texas Ranchers pickleball team. He co-owns the team. Apart from that, it is reported that he may have invested in Dallas-based Front Burner Restaurants.

Rory McIlroy vs Scottie Scheffler: Tour Wins

Both Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler have won many tournaments. While Scheffler has largely focused on the PGA Tour, the Northern Irishman has played on the DP World Tour, too.

Collectively, McIlroy holds 49 titles, and the World No. 1 has 15 titles. In 2025 alone, Scheffler has amassed six wins, and the career Grand Slam winner has three. Here’s a complete list of the events the two have won in 2025 on the tours they have played in:

Rory McIlroy vs Scottie Scheffler: Net worth & career earnings comparison

McIlroy currently leads the financial leaderboard with an estimated $250 million in 2025, according to the Express Magazine, while Scheffler stands at $110 million.

One is hailed as the top European golfer, while the other is the World No.1. However, there’s still a huge difference in the two’s net worth. And this shouldn’t come as a surprise because there’s a gap in the time they have spent as a pro. Scottie Scheffler turned pro in 2018, while Rory McIlroy did that back in 2007.

Therefore, Scheffler has 19 PGA Tour wins under his belt in seven years. But McIlroy has been a pro since 2007 and has achieved 29 PGA Tour wins and 20 DP World Tour wins in the past 18 years.

Both players have dominated golf courses since they started their careers as pros. Scheffler’s on-course earnings have been impressive, with over $29 million in 2024 alone. In 2025, too, he earned over $27.65 million.

When we look only at the PGA Tour figures, Scheffler is a clear winner. Rory McIlroy made $10.8 million in 2024 and is close to $17 million in 2025. However, the DP World Tour figures tell a different story. Scottie didn’t participate in any DP World Tours, and McIlroy has won another 20 tournaments there, alongside his 29 PGA Tour victories. Therefore, Rory outperforms Scheffler in total career earnings.

The table below shows a side-by-side comparison of both golfers’ career earnings.

Based on their golf earnings, assets, and investments, it won’t be wrong to say that Rory McIlroy is richer in 2025. However, it is also worth noting that McIlroy started his pro career 11 years ahead of Scottie. If Scottie maintains his consistency in the games and makes appropriate financial decisions, he may surpass Rory in time. But for now, Rory is the clear winner.
