PGA Tour money update: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy retain grips on top two spots

Despite a $9 million purse and most of the game's top stars in the field, the Genesis Scottish Open did little to change the PGA Tour money list. 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. PGA Tour money leaders Through the Genesis Scottish Open 1. Scottie Scheffler $16,102,883 2.
