The PGA Tour has a new No. 1 money man.
Scottie Scheffler’s $10 million Tour Championship victory pushed him to $130,390,661 on the Tour’s official career earnings list, moving well past Tiger Woods’ mark of $120,999,166.
Woods had held the top spot for more than a quarter century, since Feb. 13, 2000.
He posted a congratulatory message on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday night.
Three wins, five runner-ups and finishing the season No. 1. Those are some numbers to be proud of. Incredible consistency all season long. Congrats on a historic season, Scottie.

Scheffler passed Rory McIlroy for No. 2 on the list a few weeks ago when he won the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
McIlroy, who finished T-4 at the Tour Championship with six other players, just narrowly missed getting back to No. 2 and now will have to wait until his next PGA Tour event to bump Woods to No. 3. He would have passed Woods for the second spot if he had finished solo fourth or better in Atlanta.
Rounding out the Tour’s top five career earners are a pair of 46-year-old veterans, Justin Rose and Adam Scott.
Rose finished T-18 at the Tour Championship, earning just under half a million dollars for his work at East Lake. The highlight of his week was making an ace on the par-3 ninth hole during Sunday’s final round.
Scott knocked Justin Thomas from the No. 5 money spot by finishing T-11 this week.
