Xander Schauffele's Career Earnings After Win at 2024 PGA Championship
May 19, 2024
Coming into this year's PGA Championship, Xander Schauffele was the only world-top-five-ranked golfer without a major win.
But the Southern California native got that monkey off his back on Sunday.
Schauffele's birdie on No. 18 to pull ahead of Bryson DeChambeau and finish 21 under at the PGA Championship secured not only his first career major win, but the $3.33 million in prize money that comes with it.
With that portion of this year's PGA Championship total purse of $18.5 million (a record and $1 million more than last year), Schauffele's career earnings increases to a hair under $50 million, at $49,928,394.
Per his PGA Tour page, prior to lifting the Wanamaker Trophy, Schauffele's career earnings was $46,598,394, thanks to eight top-10 finishes. He had no wins to speak of in the 2024 season to date before securing his eighth career win and ninth top-10 finish at Valhalla Golf Course.
Schauffele's last PGA Tour win had been in 2022. So far this season, prior to his PGA Championship win, he had earned $7.6 million.
The 30-year-old shot a nine-under-par 62 in the first round of the tournament to match a major record he had already set.
By the time the tournament wrapped Sunday, Schauffele shot 21 under over the 72-hole event to set a new major scoring record.
Previously, the lowest score-to-par at a major was 20-under par. Jason Day did it at the 2015 PGA Championship, matched by Henrik Stenson the following year at the 2016 Open Championship. Dustin Johnson was the first to shoot 20 under at the Masters. And Cameron Smith reached the mark most recently, at the 2022 Open Championship.
