While $10 million represents a decrease in the top prize, it would still more than double 25 of the 30 players season earnings as only Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, J.J. Spaun, Sepp Straka and Russell Henley have earned north of $10 million in 2025 coming into the Tour Championship.

Scheffler's victory in the BMW Championship on Aug. 17, in which he rallied from four shots behind Robert MacIntyre to start the day, was his 13th top-10 finish in a row since tying for 20th at The Players Championship. Nine of them have been top-fives.

This year’s Tour Championship arrives with a clean slate. Can Scottie Scheffler win for the second year in a row?
