The recent Masters Champion is currently number 1 on the FedEx and OWGR ratings with around 2683 points to his name. Not only this, Rahm has won a little over $13 Million this season and he still has 5 months remaining. The Spanish golfer has won $13,623,540 to be precise. 

As far as Scottie Scheffler is concerned, he won $14 million last year. His winnings helped him set a new single-season PGA Tour earnings record. Rahm is on track to breaking Scheffler’s record of the highest earnings in one single season with less than $400,000 to win. The hike in the prize money has been humongous this season. 

With 5 months remaining till the season’s conclusion, it is anticipated that the Spanish golfer will break the record and finally steal Scheffler’s fame!

Jon Rahm is not alone

Rahm is not the only one who is having a good year, the PGA Tour is also having an immensely incredible year. 

The numbers for this year’s season have been off the charts. The viewership of the Tour’s events has gone up by 14%. Not just that, but the Tour is being noticed by 31% more people on social media. Prize money for the tour has gone up by a whopping 88%. 

PGA Tour also introduced the concept of designated PGA events which will have high purses as compared to non-designated events which have highly contributed to the jump in the prize money.
