Overview
- Scheffler finished 27-under at PGA West to win by four strokes, securing his first season-opening victory on the PGA Tour.
- The triumph was his 20th Tour title before turning 30, achieved in 151 starts for the second-fewest to the milestone in history.
- His $1.656 million winner’s check pushed official PGA Tour earnings past $100 million, a threshold previously crossed only by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
- Under the Tour’s 2022 policy, the milestone confers lifetime membership, with coverage noting he is the first Korn Ferry Tour graduate to reach 20 wins.
- With 14 victories since the start of 2024, analysts say his sustained consistency is drawing renewed comparisons to Woods’ early dominance.
