Justin Rose met the occasion during the first leg of the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs, taking home not only the St. Jude Championship crown but a whopping $3.6 million winner's check as well. That same winner's prize was be on the line this week at the 2025 BMW Championship as part of a $20 million purse that will be divided amongst 48 of the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings after one player withdrew before the tournament and another before the fourth round began.

The evidence has been building. We know the Scottie Scheffler effect is real. However, it is abundantly clear now that Scheffler, who on Sunday won his 18th PGA Tour event at the BMW Championship, can intimidate a field just with his presence on the final round leaderboard.

Scottie Scheffler’s fifth PGA Tour win of the season at the BMW Championship further added to his massive financial haul. Scheffler now has $23,962,883 in official earnings this year. A year ago, with seven victories, he made a Tour-record $29,228,357.
