PGA Tour money update: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy retain grips on top two spots
That will likely come this week at the British Open, which begins July 17 at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
The top 19 positions on the money list remained the same after the Scottish Open and with No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 2 Rory McIlroy posting top-10 finishes, their hold on the top two spots on the money list solidified.
Scheffler tied for eighth to earn $233,400 and increase his bounty this season to more than $16 million. McIlroy closed the game somewhat with his tie for second behind Chris Gotterup, earning $788,175
McIlroy is now less than $400,000 behind Scheffler.
While J.J. Spaun stayed in third place, he missed the cut and is more than $5.7 million behind McIlroy. It will take some doing from behind and some poor play from Scheffler and McIlroy to make this anything but a two-man race heading into the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Chris Gotterup made a big move
By winning his second PGA Tour title and a $1,575,000 check, Scottish Open winner Chris Gotterup jumped from 96th on the money list with barely more than $1 million to 51st with $2,586,336.
Gotterup joined 65 players who have won $2 million or more, and 102 players have won $1 million or more in on-course earnings, led by ISCO Championship William Muow, whose $720,000 check for winning vaulted him from 160th to 97th.
What is the British Open purse?
The British Open purse won't be released until later in the week, as is the custom for organizations that run the four major championships. But Xander Schauffele earned $3.1 million last year, from a total purse of $17 million.

Brits 'slam hated ISA plan' in new setback for Rachel Reeves
Chancellor Rachel Reeves was believed to be originally set to announce ISA reforms at her Mansion House speech last week, but following significant pushback, the Labour Party government U-turned on the decision. Now the focus has shifted to the autumn budget, with finance experts still suggesting the Chancellor is plotting to slash the tax-free limit of a cash ISA from £20,000 to £10,000. However, new research from the specialists at Nottingham Building Society has suggested that UK savers are against Rachel Reeves' reported plan to change ISAs. Read more: Families hit by two-child benefit cap can claim extra cash in new update The current ISA rules allow for savers to deposit £20,000 tax-free, split between cash, stocks and shares, lifetime, and innovative finance accounts. Of the 2,003 UK respondents to the building society study (who have or have previously had Cash ISAs), 55% of all savers oppose the move. This rose to 76% of over-55s, while 78% of the respondents believe the government should be encouraging tax-free saving through tools like Cash ISAs, not discouraging it. One of the reasons behind the potential cash ISA cuts is to push savers into using Stocks and Shares. However, only 38% of Cash ISA holders would consider switching to a Stocks and Shares ISA if the allowance is cut. One in three said they'd simply save less, while a fifth (20%) of cash ISA savers said a cut to the allowance would affect their ability to put down a deposit on a home. This rose to 41% among 25–34-year-olds. Additionally, 34% fear it would hit their retirement saving and 36% say it would harm their ability to build an emergency fund. Harriet Guevara, Chief Savings Officer at Nottingham Building Society: 'We're pleased the Chancellor has opened the door to proper consultation on ISA reform. Any changes to a system that millions rely on to build financial security must be based on evidence and real-life saver behaviour. 'The Cash ISA allowance is a mainstream tool used by everyday people to manage their money sensibly. "More than half of our fixed-rate ISA customers used the full £20,000 allowance last year, and among those saving in-branch, that figure rises to 65 per cent. This shows that for many, the Cash ISA is a lifeline. 'We support the government's aim to boost investing and grow the economy, but limiting savers' choices by cutting the Cash ISA allowance is not the right way to do it." She added: 'It also has direct consequences for mortgage lending. ISAs held with mutuals like Nottingham Building Society support lending to aspiring homeowners. "Capping what people can save risks capping what we can lend, and that's directly at odds with the government's goal of doubling the size of the mutual sector. 'This consultation must put the saver at the centre. That means retaining choice, rewarding good savings behaviour and supporting financial resilience for the long-term.'

Calafiori needs 'a little bit more luck' this season
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has high hopes for defender Riccardo Calafiori after an injury-hit debut season. Calafiori, who arrived from Bologna last season, suffered multiple injuries that kept him sidelined for some of the Gunners biggest fixtures throughout the season. If Arsenal are to get their hands on major silverware for the first time since their FA Cup success in 2020, then Arteta knows they will need all of their players available - and Calafiori is an important part of that. "It's a big season for him," said Arteta. "He looks very, very excited. We know that one of the biggest things we have to achieve this season is availability. "It's true that the main two injuries that he had were on international duty while he was playing with Italy. But these things can happen. "Now we want a player that is consistently available, and performing at the level that he can do because he brings an energy and predictability to the team that we really are going to need. "He was certainly missed for a big part of last season. Hopefully that second season with more understanding and a little bit more luck, we can see a great version of him." Not an Arsenal fan?

Alan Permane on leading Racing Bulls: 'Some shock, some pride' but 'relishing the challenge"
racing director and paddock veteran Alan Permane to fill the role as team principal, overseeing the Anglo-Italian squad's 700 staff across Milton Keynes in the UK and Faenza in Italy. From its Benetton guise through Renault, Lotus and Alpine, Permane was a stalwart at team Enstone as an engineer and sporting director, before leaving the team exactly two years ago. He was then snapped up by Racing Bulls in January 2024 as its new racing director, adding his three-decade experience to a squad commissioned by Red Bull to forge its own identity and vie for the top of the midfield. Alan Permane, Racing Director RB F1 Team, Laurent Mekies, Team Principal, RB F1 Team Having been involved in the series since 1989, 58-year-old Permane has seen it all, but becoming a team principal was not on his horizon and took him by surprise. "I had many reactions to the news, some shock, some pride," Permane told in an exclusive interview. "It's amazing that they feel I'm capable and have the potential to lead this team. I deeply thank the Red Bull Austria senior management, Oliver Mintzlaff and Helmut Marko, and, of course, Laurent for recommending me, pushing me forward, his belief in me as well. It's been a great week." 'The target is to be top of the midfield, and we are certainly in a battle for that and we'll continue that fight throughout this year.' Permane has had just two weeks to get his feet under his new desk before heading to this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, but he feels that the solid structure that Mekies and team CEO Peter Bayer have put in place, which has allowed the team to become a more competitive midfield force, means he doesn't need to reinvent the wheel either. "Well, the plan of action is to keep things as they are," he pointed out. "Laurent and Peter have done a fantastic job with this team over the last 18 months, leading to a surge in competitiveness. And my plan is to keep that running, keep the team on the same trajectory as it's been on. "It's a great team and I know that the senior Red Bull guys are extremely happy with the way the team is being run. They're very happy with our competitiveness. The target is to be top of the midfield, and we are certainly in a battle for that and we'll continue that fight throughout this year. "From my side, it's certainly going to mean some more travel. I'm predominantly based in Milton Keynes. In my previous role as racing director, I did spend some time in Italy, but it will no doubt mean I will split my time between the two sites. Probably a little bit more on the Faenza side, where that larger part of the team is." A serious challenge ahead Liam Lawson, Racing Bulls Team Permane feels his extensive experience as a sporting director has given him a solid background to slot into the top job, though he is not underestimating the challenge of going from leading a trackside team to sitting at the top of two factories housing over 700 staff. "I think sporting director gives you a decent grounding," he explained. "It's a much bigger role, of course. As a sporting director, you manage a group of 60 or 70 people. You sit on FIA committees. You work with the FIA, with stewards, with penalties and protests and things like that. So, you have a very good grounding and basis to take this job on, but it's of course a much bigger role. "There will be many things that are new, but I'm very ready to take it on and then I'm confident I'll do a good job." Racing Bulls will not appoint a direct replacement for the role of racing director for the time being. Instead, chief race engineer Mattia Spini will be taking on additional duties. "At the moment we won't fill it. We won't change things immediately," Permane explained. "Mattia will step up, and he's an excellent chief race engineer, and he's keen to do more, and he certainly has the capability to do more. Inevitably, I will be involved a bit more in that side of the business than Laurent was, certainly at the start, just making sure that that transition is as smooth as it can be. But I don't have any worries on that side. The track side team between Milton Keynes and Faenza is very strong." Paddock support In response to the news, Sauber chief Jonathan Wheatley posted a picture of him and Permane toasting with a glass of champagne in the Benetton garage as they celebrated their 1995 title success with Michael Schumacher. Permane and Wheatley became close friends during their time at the team, and in a stroke of serendipity they will now compete against each other as two of F1's 11 team principals. "We've grown up together," Permane said. "We both worked on Michael's car. In those days I was an electronics engineer, Jonathan was number two mechanic. And that's where our friendship started. We worked together for many years, Benetton, then Renault, and then of course he's moved on to Red Bull and now to Audi. Asked if he ever harboured any team boss ambitions like Wheatley, who left Red Bull to take the Sauber gig, he replied: "Honestly, no. I've been much more of a technical or a sporting guy. "But now it's happened, I'm relishing it. It's going to be a great challenge for me and I'm really looking forward to it."
