So far this season, Scheffler has won the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship, the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship and now the Memorial Tournament.
It's safe to say Scheffler has had an outstanding season, and his earnings reflect that.
With Sunday's win, Scheffler also moved from ninth to seventh on the PGA's all-time earnings list at $66,589,782. At just 27 years old, he has plenty of time to continue climbing that list.
Scheffler's fifth win of the season came behind another strong showing that saw him finish eight-under-par. He came out strong in Round 1 with a five-under-par 72 and followed it up with a four-under-par 72 that included an eagle in Round 2. He struggled a bit in the final two rounds of the event but managed to get the win thanks to his play on Thursday and Friday.
