If you’re a Scottie Scheffler fan, we have some good news and some bad news. The bad news? On Sunday, the World No. 1’s record-breaking run of 18 consecutive top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour came to an end with a T-12 at the Genesis Invitational.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler finishes T12 at The Genesis Invitational, ending a streak of 18 consecutive top-10 finishes on TOUR, the most consecutive top 10 finishes on TOUR on record.
The last time Scheffler finished outside the top-10 on TOUR was T20 at the 2025 PLAYERS… https://t.co/LGESbGoI9o

The good news? Well, there’s plenty of it. Scheffler’s mark of 18 straight top 10s is six clear of the next closest player (Vijay Sing with 12), and not likely to be eclipsed anytime soon. Even better, though, is that amount of prize money Scheffler raked in over the course of his remarkable run. Read it and weep, folks.
During Scottie Scheffler's 18-event streak of finishing inside the Top 10 that ended yesterday, the World No. 1 made $28,137,033 in prize money, averaging $1,563,168.50 per tournament.
His payout for finishing T12 at Riviera: $415,000.

Over $28 million dollars at an average clip of more than $1.5 million per tournament. That’s not bad work if you can get it.
Scheffler may not have marketing upside of someone like Tiger Woods or even Rory McIlroy, but on the modern PGA Tour, with purses growing exponentially in response to LIV-flation, this remarkable stat shows consistency can be just as lucrative.
