Schupak: Mo money, mo money, mo money. That’s the talk of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf

Scottie Scheffler picked the right time to start winning PGA Tour titles and climb to No. 1 in the world.

Thanks to the PGA Tour’s new long-term lucrative TV deal kicking in and purses surging this year, he set a new single-season record with $12,896,849 in prize money in 19 starts. There’s still 10 weeks remaining in the Tour’s 2021-22 season. Nice work, if you can get it.

“I never dreamt of playing for this much money,” Scheffler said. “I don’t know how much money I’ve made this year, but it’s definitely more than I deserve for whacking a little white golf ball around.”
