Exploring Scottie Scheffler's 2024 season so far
Scottie Scheffler has created history in many ways during the 2024 season. With several wins over the season, Scheffler has already broken records, created history, and brought back to life feats that have not been achieved for decades.
Scheffler broke the record for the highest earnings on a PGA Tour season, earning $24 million in prize money with three months of the season yet to go.

He also took continuous wins at the Masters and the RBC Heritage, becoming only the third golfer in history to do so. Speaking about his most recent win, Scottie Scheffler's caddie Scott applauded him and said:
“I don't know how he does it. With what happened at Louisville and then the tragedy with Grayson, that really affected him a lot. So yeah, it's been a whirlwind of emotions for the last month, but sometimes it's probably a safe place to go, you get in contention and you’re just focused on what you’re trying to do and can get away from the noise.”
Scheffler now goes into the US Open with the lowest odds since Tiger Woods in 2009. He will hope to pick up his second major victory of the year.
