Scottie Scheffler won the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club on Sunday, securing a $10 million prize. The victory moved Scheffler past Tiger Woods to become the all-time money leader on the PGA Tour. Scheffler, who had no PGA Tour wins as of January 2022, has reached 22 career wins and 207 total weeks at world No. 1. His current trajectory in worldwide starts and wins mirrors the performance of Tiger Woods during his peak years. Despite his recent success, Scheffler continues to manage risks such as the highly competitive nature of the tour and recent health setbacks, including a case of hand, foot and mouth disease. He currently holds a streak of 172 consecutive weeks at No. 1 and aims to challenge the record of 281 weeks set by Woods.
