The meteoric rise of McIlroy and Scheffler toward Woods' record underscores the dramatic financial growth golf has experienced in recent years. While Woods captured 82 PGA Tour victories, matching Sam Snead's record, his largest single payday was the $2.07M he earned at the 2019 Masters. As a result, their combined earnings have reached nearly double what Woods accumulated throughout his career. In contrast, McIlroy has competed in just 11 PGA Tour events this season versus Scheffler's 17, placing him 12th in the order of merit standings.
