In the year, Scheffler has earned over $19 million, with Golf Digest reporting that his caddie, Ted Scott, netted $1.92 million as a result. A mark that has him making more than the average player on the PGA Tour, which comes in at $1.73 million.

As great as Scottie Scheffler is playing, it's still a little early for comparisons. And they might be more appropriate with Jack Nicklaus than with Tiger Woods.

Scottie Scheffler's latest major, a thorough four-stroke win at the Open Championship, is another reminder that he's mastered golf like few have.

Scottie Scheffler is taking golf to a level not seen since Tiger Woods. The latest example was his four-shot win at the British Open at Royal Portrush on Sunday to earn a fourth major title.

The top-ranked golfer cruised to another dominant outing to claim the British Open. Scheffler, who entered the day with a massive four-shot lead, pushed it to seven at one point en route to his four-shot victory at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Nobody even came close to catching him.
