Professional golfer Scottie Scheffler has officially dethroned golf legend Tiger Woods atop the PGA Tour career money list, cementing his place in the sport’s history books.

After a neck-and-neck battle with longtime rival Rory McIlroy, Scheffler, 30, secured a record-breaking victory on Aug. 30, further solidifying his status as the world’s No. 1 golfer.

The star athlete celebrated the milestone alongside his wife, Meredith, and their children, Bennett, 2, and Remy, 5 months, after his triumph earned him a staggering $10 million payday.

The massive check was enough to propel Scheffler past Woods on the PGA Tour’s all-time career money list, marking yet another historic achievement for the 30-year-old.

Scheffler now sits atop the rankings with $133,390,661 in career earnings, edging out Woods, who has amassed $120,999,166, while McIlroy ranks third with $119,555,515.

Chasing history on the course is just part of a whirlwind year for Scheffler. Off the course, he and Meredith expanded their family in March with the birth of Remy—just days before the Masters tournament. Bennett, was born in May 2024.

Scheffler and his wife live in a neighborhood just north of downtown Dallas. Their 4,881-square-foot, ranch-style home has five bedrooms and 5.5 baths, according to Realtor.com®. It was built in 1946, but listing photos indicate the home has been updated.

Property records show that Scheffler purchased the house back in 2021 for $2.1 million—and later transferred the residence into a trust.

Inside Scottie Scheffler’s home

The inside features lots of bells and whistles for the chef at heart, including a gas cooktop, double oven, and warmer oven drawer. There’s also a built-in wine cooler, wet bar, and fireplace.

The backyard is fit for entertaining with a built-in pool and spa. The home welcomes visitors with a circular driveway and a two-car garage.

The home is not in a gated neighborhood, but property records reveal that other homes on the street have sold for over $2 million. A fresh listing on the same street is listing for $3,895,000. It also has five bedrooms and 5.5 baths, and was once featured in D Magazine for its architecture and design.

Scheffler’s home is near one of his favorite eateries: Chipotle. Meredith revealed in a video for Golf Digest that her husband has a “very particular” way to get extra toppings on his order. Plus, he likes to eat his bowl with a spoon, according to People.

“No, no, no, no, no—people always eat their Chipotle with a fork, but they use it like a spoon!” Scheffler said, according to People. “They spoon it, but with a fork. It doesn’t make any sense. Everyone else has got it wrong. I got it right with a spoon.”

Scheffler says he’s in it to win it

While Scheffler rests and prepares for the FedEx Cup, the 2025 PGA Championship winner has made clear that he’s ready to give it his all out on the course in every tournament.

“Over the course of my career, I felt like, if I show up to a tournament, I’m there to give that tournament my best. In that sense, I feel like I’ve done a really good job of approaching a lot of the events with the same mindset, and that’s to go out and do my best,” he said ahead of the 2026 PGA tournament in May, according to the PGA Championship website.

The pro golfer also explained that he credits much of his storied consistency on the course with his ability to balance his training with some much-needed downtime at the family’s home, noting that he would rather skip a tournament he doesn’t feel fully prepared for, rather than taking part in a half-hearted way.

“If I want a week off, I’m going to stay at home,” he shared. “I’m not going to show up at a tournament to have a week off. Just because it’s a lot more restful to be at home.”

Consistency is key

While Scheffler is currently ranked the World No. 1 in the official PGA rankings, he’s faced bitter disappointment at his last few tournaments, finishing as the runner up in the 3M Open and 4th in the Open Championship

Earlier in the year, the athlete addressed that “bittersweet” feeling, noting that becoming the first player in PGA Tour history to net “three runner-ups in a row” in the Masters tournament, RBC Heritage, and Cadillac Championship is both reassuring in terms of his consistency, but heartbreaking at the same time.

“I think it was last week my wife was like, ‘Hey, Scottie, you’re like the first guy in PGA Tour history to have three solo runner-ups in a row,’” he revealed, before noting that different players had claimed victory in each tournament—indicating that he was the most consistent athlete among them.

“I’m like, ‘Yeah, it’s probably because the guy that was playing that good figured out a way to win one of those, he didn’t come second in all three,’” he said. “A little bit of it is bittersweet. Finishing second in a golf tournament is not bad, but, I mean … especially in the way I did it in a couple of them.

“Overall, yeah, I’d say a little bit bittersweet. You know you’re playing good golf, and you’d love to get some wins. Finishing second hurts, but I think when you reflect and you’re looking at things to work on, there’s a lot less to clean up when you’re finishing second than there is when you’re finishing 30th.”

While Scheffler conceded that being in the No. 1 spot comes with its disadvantages, he’d much rather bear the weight of people’s expectations than go into a tournament as an underdog who few expect to have a chance of winning.

“If you’re in a position where you guys feel like I should win every week, and I’ve got to sit here and answer questions about how come I didn’t win, honestly it’s pretty easy sometimes to figure out why you didn’t win, like there’s usually something going wrong. In golf that’s a pretty easy question to answer,” he added.
