Scottie Scheffler’s Missed Cut Leaves Earnings Lead Intact

Scottie Scheffler’s tournament run ended at the Genesis Scottish Open when he missed the cut, snapping a streak of 78 consecutive cuts. This was his first lighter wallet since August 2022’s FedEx St. Jude Championship. The missed cut still leaves him atop the PGA Tour earnings list.

Entering the upcoming British Open July 16‑19 at Royal Birkdale, Scheffler commands more than $15 million in prize money. His lead remains untouched despite the near‑miss, highlighting the depth of his early‑season dominance. The $15 million mark underscores how quickly he has accumulated earnings this season.

The top four spots on the money list stayed the same after the Scottish Open, with Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young and Wyndham Clark following close behind. Fitzpatrick’s $431,887 for a tie for third nudged him nearer the $14 million threshold, tightening the race behind Scheffler.

Tom Kim captured the Scottish Open title on July 12, earning a $1,575,000 first‑place check. The victory propelled Kim up 56 spots to 34th overall, pushing his season haul past $3.8 million. The image of Kim holding the trophy after his win can be seen below.

Rory McIlroy posted a tie for seventh at the Scottish Open, collecting $270,675 and overtaking Collin Morikawa for fifth place on the earnings list. The payout moved McIlroy past Morikawa, who sits just behind at $8,389,936. Both players remain influential contenders for the season’s money title.
