McIlroy shot eight-over par to finish 66th overall at last week’s FedEx St Jude Championship in Memphis and felt “progress from where I was last week would be a win for me” as he prepared for the BMW Championship.<\/p>\n
World number one Scottie Scheffler was in much better form with a runaway win, which brought his career earnings to $119,964,411 (\u00a388,187) – just behind record holder Tiger Woods on $120,999,166 (\u00a388,950).<\/p>\n
However, the 30-year-old American is refusing to equate financial rewards with his overall standing in relation to 15-time Major champion Woods, insisting that “has a lot to do with the purses” and “I’m not really too close to him in terms of career wins”.<\/p>\n
Scheffler’s win in St Louis was his 21st on the PGA Tour, while Woods – who has been sidelined by injuries and operations since missing the cut at The Open in July 2024 – has triumphed on 82 occasions.<\/p>\n
“Tiger did a lot for the game of golf and he put us in a position where we’re able to earn some pretty good stuff financially, so that’s something we’re very grateful for,” Scheffler said.<\/p>\n
“Tiger’s contributions to the game, when you look at where the purses were at before he came out on tour to where they’re at now is a pretty stark difference and we’re very thankful for his contributions to the game and hopefully we’ll see him back out here competing again soon.<\/p>\n
“What, am I like a fourth of the way there? Something like that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
