With 19 PGA Tour wins and 131/150 cuts made, Scottie Scheffler has risen to the peak of the Official World Golf Rankings. But most of his success came in the last five years. 

So, here's a look at the 29-year-old's iconic run in the last five years, where he earned multiple accolades and, with that, increased his bank balance significantly.

How Many Championships Has Scottie Scheffler Won in the Last Five Years?

In 2021, Scheffler secured only one win, and that was at the Ryder Cup. But his stance got better in 2022. He won the WM Phoenix Open, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the World Golf Championships - Dell Technologies Match Play. That was also the year he won the Masters Tournament. Additionally, he finished in the top five in six events. 

2023 witnessed a similar growth, with a win at the WM Phoenix Open, THE PLAYERS Championship, and the Hero World Challenge. He secured top-five finishes in 10 events, including the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. 

Scottie Scheffler came in even stronger in 2024, winning eight events – Arnold Palmer Invitational, THE PLAYERS Championship, RBC Heritage, The Memorial Tournament, TOUR Championship, Travelers Championship, Hero World Challenge, and the Masters Tournament. He missed no cuts and finished five other tournaments in the top-five spots. 

But it was his 2025 season that kept Scheffler at the number one spot. He won the CJ CUP, the Byron Nelson, the Memorial Tournament, the PGA Championship, the Open Championship, the BMW Championship, and the Procore Championship. Scheffler ended up in fourth spot in the Masters Tournament and seventh in the U.S. Open. Apart from these, he secured top-five finishes in five other events. 

Over the course of the last five years, Scottie Scheffler won four major championships and 18 PGA Tour events. But how much did he earn during this period? 

How Much Money Has the World #1 Earned in the Last Five Years?

In 2021, Scheffler earned a total of $4,972,256, including the bonuses and major wins. 2022 witnessed a significant rise, with total earnings of $29,671,909.

The following year, Scheffler took home $33,389,642. And in 2024, that number rose to a whopping $71,228,358.

But his financial stance in the last season didn’t show positive growth. From the PGA Tour, Scottie Scheffler earned $19,515,764, and another $8,143,786 from the major championships. With an addition of $23 million from bonuses, his total paycheck for 2025 was only about $50,659,550. 

Scheffler’s last five years define sustained dominance through wins, majors, and earnings. His consistency, peak performance, and financial growth firmly establish him as golf’s standard-bearer.

During one of his press conferences during the 2025 British Open, the 29-year-old stated that he wants to be a "great father" rather than a "great golfer." Still, his opponents shouldn't think that they will have an easier time this season.
