Scottie Scheffler has become one of the most prominent figures in golf since his breakthrough year in 2022, where he achieved a No. 1 world ranking. Over the past few years, he's claimed a number of PGA Tour titles,

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler erased a four-shot deficit in five holes and then delivered a haymaker on the daunting par-3 17th by chipping in from 82 feet for birdie that carried him to victory Sunday in the BMW Championship for his fifth PGA Tour title of the year.

Scottie Scheffler clinched the BMW Championship with a dramatic chip-in birdie, while caddie Ted Scott missed the emotional win.

While factual and fresh, it’s strictly academic to state that Scheffler banks 2,000 FedExCup points for the win at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, because he was a lock to advance to the TOUR Championship long ago. What’s new is the $3.6 million in earnings that the FedExCup points leader grabs from a purse of $20 million.

Scottie Scheffler, of course, has done it again. Thanks in part to an absolutely wild chip-in down the stretch at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland, Scheffler overtook Robert MacIntyre to claim the BMW Championship on Sunday afternoon.

Scottie Scheffler praised players who make it to the Tour Championship without winning during the season, though he declined to mention any names.

Scheffler has earned over $143 million through his golf career, according to Spotrac. Of that money, $63.9 million is from official PGA Tour payouts, while $14.6 million comes from his performance at major championships.
