Nobody was catching Scottie Scheffler this week. He more than made sure of that.
The top-ranked golfer in the world absolutely ran away with his hometown tournament this week to claim his first win of the PGA Tour season. Scheffler flew ahead to an eight-shot win over the field at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson and reached 31-under for the week — which set a new tournament record and matched the Tour’s all-time scoring record. He’s now the first wire-to-wire winner at the event in more than four decades, and the first hometown winner since 2007.

As a result, Scheffler is taking home a $1.782 million check.
The CJ Cup Byron Nelson offered a $9.9 million purse this summer. While that’s a good chunk of money, it’s significantly less than what is offered at the major championships and the Tour’s signature events. Those tournaments typically offer a $20 million purse, while the major championships and The Players Championship surpass that. The Masters, for example, offered a $21 million purse last month — which was a record for the event and sent Rory McIlroy home with a $4.2 million check after he completed the career grand slam.
Scheffler has now won 14 times in his career, half of which came last season — when he won The Players Championship, the Masters and the Tour Championship, among others. He’s not missed a cut this season and has now six top-10 finishes in nine starts. While he’s not been winning until now, Scheffler clearly hasn’t lost a step.
Here’s a look at how much Scheffler and the rest of the field earned this week at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.

Giants takeaways: Willy Adames is back. So is Kyle Harrison, and Logan Webb’s four-seamer
The Rockies have played in about one out of every nine games in Oracle Park’s 25-year history, and they’ve hated almost every second of it. The last time they won consecutive games in the same series in San Francisco was May 2018, when the Giants were using Austin Jackson as their starting center fielder and Gorkys Hernández as their leadoff hitter. Giants reliever José Váldez gave up two runs in the top of the ninth of that second game, even though it’s possible that Baseball-Reference made him up.AdvertisementSome Giants fans might have taken comfort in that history of dominance before this week’s four-game series. The real sickos and malcontents among you, though, were waiting for the jump scare. Baseball doesn’t like to be that predictable. The Rockies were 6-29 in their last 35 games at Oracle Park entering this series, […]
