PGA Tour career earnings: Scottie Scheffler moves closer to Phil Mickelson with PGA win, money
Scottie Scheffler moved past Dustin Johnson earlier this year on the PGA Tour's career money list. His next target: Phil Mickelson. While both DJ and Mickelson bolted for LIV Golf and have had their Tour earnings remain roughly the same over the last few years, Scheffler has stormed up the standings. Advertisement The $3.42 million he collected by winning the PGA Championship has him at $81,924,784, fourth on the list. Mickelson is third with $96,685,635. It would take another massive hot streak for Scheffler to surpass Mickelson this year, but he did make $29 million in official earnings last year and is only about a third of the way to that total in '25. Here are the current top 50 in PGA Tour official career earnings (which doesn't include FedExCup bonuses, like the $25 million Scheffler won last year at the Tour Championship):

PGA Tour Brass Defends Rory McIlroy's Choice to Skip The Memorial
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It is a special week on the PGA Tour. The world's best golfers have descended upon Muirfield Village in Ohio for the Memorial Tournament. Well, most of the world's best are playing. Rory McIlroy turned heads when he decided to skip the tournament for the first time in nine years. Nicklaus acknowledged even he was surprised to hear of McIlroy's decision earlier this week. Although, he made it clear it was his choice to make and he does not hold it against him. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan took it a step further defending the Northern Irishman. "The beauty of our model is that our players have the ability to select their schedule," Monahan said. "What Rory McIlroy has done, I think he's played in this tournament every year since 2017. And you look at the tournaments that he's supported. I don't have any concern, because you look at this on balance over time, his support of our tournaments and our partners is extraordinary."

In the post-Tiger Woods era of domination, the five-time major champion took up the mantle of being the face of the PGA Tour. That includes initially digging his heels in against LIV Golf upon its emergence in 2022. Earlier this year, McIlroy completed the grand slam, winning the 2025 Masters Tournament in dramatic fashion. Since that time, he has made three starts; namely the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the Truist Championship (formerly Wells Fargo) and the PLAYERS Championship. The last of which was his worst performance of the year. He finished tied for 47th after barely making the cut. During the PLAYERS, it was revealed that McIlroy's driver failed USGA random testing. That forced the 36-year-old to switch out heads before teeing off that week. Interestingly, McIlroy then opted not to speak to the media following all four rounds. That alone brought its own set of criticism from fans. Nicklaus, when addressing the topic on Tuesday, said that while he cannot speak for McIlroy, he always felt it prudent to speak to the media. Rory McIlroy is slated to play in next week's RBC Canadian Open. He has always preferred playing the week before a major, and with the U.S. Open at Oakmont on tap in two weeks, maybe that is why he made the decision to sit out The Memorial.

LIV Golf's Phil Mickelson mockingly responds to Rory McIlroy's PGA Tour snub of Memorial Tournament
McIlroy is skipping the Memorial Tournament for the first time since 2016, with PGA Tour commissioner Monahan defending players' freedom to select their schedules LIV Golf's Phil Mickelson has taken a swipe at PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan over his defence of Rory McIlroy's decision to give this week's Memorial Tournament a miss. Masters champion McIlroy is sitting out his third signature event of the season, having previously missed The Sentry and the RBC Heritage. The Northern Irishman's decision to skip the tournament at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, follows his refusal to speak to the press after each round of the PGA Championship a fortnight ago. McIlroy's media snub came on the back of a report that his driver didn't pass standard testing by the United States Golf Association ahead of the tournament, forcing him to switch to a backup. The 36 year old ended up sharing 47th place at Quail Hollow. The world No. 2 wasn't in the lineup for the Charles Schwab Challenge last week, and the Memorial Tournament marks the third of the tour's $20 million elevated events that he has chosen not to participate in this year. McIlroy hasn't yet given a reason for his absence at Muirfield Village, even to tournament host Jack Nicklaus, although he is scheduled to play three consecutive events starting next week at the Canadian Open. Monahan has made it clear that he isn't bothered by McIlroy's absence this week, praising his support for the tournament over the years. The commissioner also believes one of the strengths of the PGA Tour is players' ability to decide when and where they compete. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan spoke to Sports Illustrated about player autonomy within the tour. "You look at the beauty of our model is that our players have the ability to select their schedule," Monahan said. " Rory McIlroy I think has played this tournament every year since 2017 [13 times overall] and you look at the tournaments he has supported ... I don't have any concern because you look at this, on balance, over time, his support of our tournaments and our partners is extraordinary." Highlighting Rory McIlroy's fantastic season, Monahan continued: "Look at the season that Rory has had. He's had a life-altering season. He's won the Players Championship, you win the Masters Tournament, you win the [career] Grand Slam and you win the ATandT Pebble Beach Pro-Am." Phil Mickelson, instrumental in LIV Golf 's inception last year, reacted with laughter to Monahan's remarks. He dropped a couple of laughing emojis as a reply to Monahan's comments on social media. Additionally, Mickelson seized the chance to critique the PGA Tour's offerings. While PGA Tour golfers enjoy the freedom to choose which events to enter from a packed roster of stateside competitions, LIV Golf members are bound to play across the entirety of its more limited yet worldwide schedule. Six-time major winner Mickelson thinks the PGA Tour's current model, where players aren't required to participate in specific events, benefits the players but is limiting the tour's global growth. Sponsors are uncertain whether top players will compete in the events they're supporting. "It's why the PGA Tour won't ever be able to move throughout the world, why sponsors don't know what they are buying, why fans haven't seen all the best compete against each other consistently for decades, and why no other sport successfully uses this model. It was great for me and all players, but not good for anyone else."
