Scottie Scheffler has emerged as the dominant force on the PGA Tour, extending his winning streak to three events after claiming the RBC Heritage tournament.
Scheffler’s victory at RBC followed his triumph at the Masters tournament, marking the second time in three years he has won the prestigious event. The 27-year-old has also finished first in the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship, and second in the Texas Children’s Houston Open in his last three events before the Masters.
Scheffler’s impressive performances have propelled him to over $16 million in earnings over the past five tournaments, boosting his career winnings to over $57 million. The $3.2 million prize for first place at RBC will put his winnings over $60 million, vaulting him over Matt Kuchar and Jason Day on the career winnings leaderboard.
Scheffler’s dominance is unparalleled, as he has become the first golfer to win a tournament the week after winning the Masters in almost 40 years, matching Bernhard Langer’s feat from 1985. Despite the need for an extra day to complete the RBC Heritage due to rain, Scheffler remained unyielding in his pursuit of victory.
Scheffler’s success is a testament to his dedication and commitment to the PGA Tour. Unlike some other top players who have defected to LIV Golf, Scheffler remains loyal to the PGA, focusing on winning rather than complaining about payouts or rules. His remarkable stretch of dominance has made him one of the most exciting and ascendant players in golf today.
