Recently, Scottie Scheffler became the fastest PGA Tour pro to break into the $50 million career-earning list and became the 15th golfer. However, it seems that another golf pro may soon join Scheffler. Xander Schauffele has been on the rise in the PGA Tour’s 2024 season as of late.

After making some incredible finishes, the 7-time PGA Tour winner may become the 16th golfer to earn $50 million. Not long ago he just broke the fourth wall to be the 31st golfer, who has earned $40 million on the PGA Tour. Now it appears that breaking the fifty million threshold is only a few events away.

Xander Schauffele’s growing wealth on the PGA Tour

The world number four joined the PGA Tour in 2017 and quickly rose to become the face of the Tour. That year, Xander Schauffele earned the Rookie of the Year Award as he won two events: the Greenbrier Classic and the 2017 TOUR Championship. In 2017, Schauffele earned $4,312,674 after making the cut in 20 events.

The next season, 2017-18, though the 30-year-old didn’t win any events, Schauffele had 12 top finishes and bagged $4,047,538, the highest earned after finishing T2 at THE PLAYERS Championship ($821,333.33). In the following season, Schauffele added two more PGA Tour victories to his name after lifting the trophy at the WGC-HSBC Champions and the Sentry TOC.
