Scottie Scheffler is the undisputed best golfer in the world and one of the most dominant athletes of his era. Born on June 21, 1996, in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and raised in Dallas, Texas, Scheffler began swinging a set of plastic clubs at age three and joined Royal Oaks Country Club at six, where he began working with legendary coach Randy Smith. His parents famously borrowed money to secure membership so their son could pursue the sport he loved.
Scheffler’s amateur career was distinguished: he won the U.S. Junior Amateur in 2013, earned low-amateur honors at the 2017 U.S. Open, and played in two Walker Cups. After an outstanding collegiate career at the University of Texas, he turned professional in 2018. His early years on the PGA Tour were marked by steady improvement, and he won the Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year in 2019 before earning his PGA Tour card and being named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2020.
Everything changed in early 2022. Scheffler won four tournaments in six PGA Tour starts — including the WM Phoenix Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational, and WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play — before capping the run with his first Masters title at Augusta National, becoming world number one in the process. He was named PGA Tour Player of the Year. He followed it up with his first Players Championship title in 2023 and retained the crown in 2024 as part of a historic seven-win season that included a second Masters title, an Olympic gold medal at Paris 2024, and the FedEx Cup championship worth $25 million. He was named Player of the Year for the third consecutive time.
In 2025, Scheffler added two more major titles — the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and The Open Championship at Royal Portrush — becoming just the third player since 1960 (alongside Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus) to win at least three majors before age 29. As of early 2026, he has won 20 PGA Tour titles and four major championships, earning lifetime PGA Tour membership. His official career prize money has surpassed $99 million, making him third on the all-time earnings list. Forbes has estimated his total net worth at approximately $110 million, bolstered by endorsements with Nike, TaylorMade, Rolex, and NetJets worth an estimated $20 million per year. Scheffler lives in Dallas with his wife Meredith Scudder and their son Bennett.
