The End of an Era: Tiger Woods Makes a Shocking Move With

The End of an Era: Tiger Woods Makes a Shocking Move With Son Charlie.

For the last five years, Tiger Woods and his son Charlie Woods have turned the PNC Championship into one of golf’s most beloved family events

Since 2020, the pair have competed side by side, blending fierce competition with lighthearted teamwork that has captivated fans. But as December approaches, that tradition is now in jeopardy following Tiger’s latest round of medical advice.

The 15-time major winner, who has undergone seven back surgeries, recently had a lumbar disc replacement in October 2025.

The procedure came just months after an Achilles tendon surgery in March. Though Woods has long been known for his resilience, doctors now caution that his body needs a prolonged recovery period before he can safely return to the course, even for a lighthearted event like the PNC

Medical concerns threaten Tiger’s comeback

During an interview with EssentiallySports, Dr. Nitin Bhatia, chair of orthopedics at UCI Health at the University of California, Irvine, discussed the physical toll golf can take on athletes, especially those with a history of back problems.

While explaining how golf may have aggravated LeBron James‘ sciatica, Bhatia’s comments indirectly revealed why Woods is unlikely to compete in the upcoming family event.

“For the athletes that we take care of, when they’re back toward playing another sport and recover with or without surgery, we tell them that even if they feel 100%, that we don’t let them golf for another three months,” Bhatia explained. “My guess is once he gets back, he’ll hold back from golfing until the offseason. You don’t want to irritate that nerve again.”

The veteran doctor went on to describe how golf, unlike many other sports, places enormous strain on the lower back. “Golfing is very hard on the lower back and has very high torque. That is something that can certainly irritate nerves,” he added.

Given that Tiger only underwent surgery weeks ago, a three-month rest period would rule him out for the December event. It’s a sobering reality for a player whose entire swing is built on power, flexibility, and rhythm – all of which depend on a healthy spine.

Since their debut at the 2020 PNC Championship, Tiger and Charlie have become the tournament’s biggest attraction. Their chemistry and matching mannerisms have drawn huge crowds and TV ratings. Even though they haven’t claimed the title yet, their performances have come close.

At the 2024 edition, they finished second at 28-under par, just behind Bernhard Langer and his son, after posting impressive rounds of 13-under and 15-under.

For Tiger, those weekends have meant more than trophies. He has often said that playing with Charlie is the most rewarding experience of his golf career outside of the professional circuit. The event has also offered fans a rare glimpse of a softer side to one of sport’s most intense competitors.

Erica’s last laugh: Rory McIlroy’s wife grabs a champagne glass to

Erica’s last laugh: Rory McIlroy’s wife grabs a champagne glass to sing about abusive USA fans

Rory McIlroy‘s wife, Erica Stoll, has had the last laugh after enduring three days of vile abuse from rowdy spectators at the Ryder Cup.

Stoll had beer thrown at her and was repeatedly made the butt of jokes, with nothing seemingly off limits for the New York crowd, who even mocked McIlroy’s decision to call off filing for divorce from Stoll in June last year.

JUST IN: Tiger Woods’s GF Vanessa Trump Breaks Silence on

On Saturday she was reportedly reduced to tears by the flood of vitriol directed her way, with McIlroy stepping in to tell the crowd to ‘shut the f*** up’.

McIlroy and Team Europe ultimately had the last laugh, edging a 15-13 victory in a nerve-shredding final day at Bethpage Black on Sunday.

The celebrations on the team bus afterwards made it clear how the Northern Irishman’s teammates felt about the result.

In one clip filmed by Justin Rose’s caddie, Mark Fulcher, players performed their version of ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries in honour of the Masters champion. ‘He’s in your head, in your head…. Rory, Rory, Rory’ is the refrain as McIlroy’s team-mates surround him in unison.

Stoll is pictured with a champagne glass in hand, joyously belting out the lyrics to show how McIlroy had got into the heads of the United States fans in a moment of sweet revenge.

The Team Europe stars even praised Stoll for not allowing her personal struggles to become a distraction ahead of Sunday’s victory.

‘I actually had no idea that Erica had a beer thrown at her yesterday, so fair play to Erica, she didn’t bring that to the team room, we didn’t make that a big deal,’ Justin Rose said.

‘It’s news to me, which says a lot about the strength of Erica and everybody in this team today.’

Shane Lowry added: ‘I was out there for two days with Erica McIlroy and the amount of abuse that she received was astonishing.

‘The way she was out there supporting her husband and supporting her team was unbelievable and kudos to her for that.’

McIlroy and Stoll met at the 2012 Ryder Cup, when McIlroy was in a relationship with tennis player Caroline Wozniacki and Stoll was working for the PGA of America.

At that Ryder Cup, Stoll was a PGA transport official who helped arrange a police escort for McIlroy to get to the course on time after he misread his tee-time.

Two years later, and following a three-year relationship and brief engagement to Wozniacki, McIlroy began dating Stoll. The two married in 2017 and welcomed their daughter, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, in 2020.

After years of keeping his family life largely private, McIlroy filed for divorce in May 2024, three days before the start of the PGA Championship, and played without his wedding ring.

A month later he decided to dismiss the divorce, telling The Guardian: ‘Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning’.

Stoll, who is two years McIlroy’s senior, is from Irondequoit, New York, 400 miles from Bethpage Black.

The abuse directed at McIlroy included frequent jibes about his relationship with Stoll, with one fan shouting ‘How’s your divorce going?’, according to Golfweek.

Another referred to Wozniacki when they reportedly shouted: ‘Your ex is looking for you.’

The hostilities reached boiling point at the 17th green on Saturday when a fan hurled beer in Stoll’s direction, with the alcohol hitting her hat. In the ensuing melee Stoll looked around in shock, as if to see where the projectile had come from.

McIlroy appeared to ask if she was okay and shepherded her away from the throng. He later admitted that he was ‘drained’ by the end of the day, while Erica was said to be crying.

The Northern Irishman offered reassurances as he and the team celebrated their triumph.

‘Erica is fine. She is a very, very strong woman,’ he said. ‘She handled everything this week with poise and dignity like she always has and I love her and we’re going to have a good time celebrating tonight.’

He added: ‘I think if I was an American, I would be annoyed. I didn’t hear a lot of shouts for Scottie today, but I heard a lot of shouts against me. Support your players. That’s the thing.’

McIlroy also took the opportunity to criticise the behaviour seen in the galleries throughout the week.

‘I don’t think we should ever accept that in golf,’ he said. ‘I think golf should be held to a higher standard than what was seen out there this week.

‘Golf has the ability to unite people. Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette. It teaches you how to play by the rules. It teaches you how to respect people.

‘Sometimes this week we didn’t see that. So no, this should not be what is acceptable in the Ryder Cup.

‘But you know, we will be making sure to say to our fans in Ireland in 2027 that what happened here this week is not acceptable, and for me, it’s… you know, come and support your home team. Come and support your team.’

Europe went into the final day with a seemingly unassailable lead of 11.5-4.5, meaning it would take a record comeback for the USA to recover.

But the hosts gave it their all at Bethpage Black on the final day and scored a record-equalling 8.5 points to nearly complete a historic comeback.

Team Europe clung on to win 15-13, taking their 11th Ryder Cup out of the last 15 and their second out of the last four on American soil.

Tiger Woods’s GF Vanessa Trump Breaks Silence on

Tiger Woods’s GF Vanessa Trump Breaks Silence on Kai Trump Being Granted LPGA Exemption

“It’s been a dream of mine to compete at the professional level. I’m thankful to the Pelican Golf Club for the invitation and can’t wait to tee it up with the best players in the world,” wrote Kai Trump, expressing her gratitude for her LPGA debut at ANNIKA. This indeed marks a momentous moment in Kai’s career, and it only makes sense for a loving mother like Vanessa to be there for her daughter.

A few hours ago, Vanessa shared a screenshot of The ANNIKA’s Instagram post announcing Kai’s invitation to the event. The post had Kai’s picture with the caption, “Look forward to watching you

.”

READ: Charlie Woods sparks another big team win for The Benjamin

This is not the first time that Vanessa has shown such an outwardly supportive attitude toward her 18-year-old daughter. She was happy to see her daughter commit to the University of Miami for the next chapter of her life. However, there have been moments of absence, too. During the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March, the same time her relationship rumors with Woods garnered attention, Vanessa skipped the event. Unsurprisingly, Kai struggled that week, finishing last after a brutal back nine.

Kai’s invitation to the LPGA’s most closely watched tournament is one is definitely an impressive first step. The Pelican event, held from November 13-16, carries a $3.25 million purse and is known to draw one of the strongest fields outside of the majors. This time too, the list is rich.

Nelly Korda, after an abrupt withdrawal from the International Crown, will be one of the names on the field. Along with her,Charley Hull, Brooke Henderson, and Lexi Thompson are some other names. With such elite golfers on the roster, it does make one wonder what qualification Kai holds to receive an invitation to the event. LPGA’s Chief Officer for Tour Business and Operations, Ricki Lasky, shed light on the matter.

“Sponsor invitations are an important way to spotlight emerging talent and bring new attention to our tournaments and the LPGA,” Lasky told the BBC.

In this scenario, Kai’s numbers back this approach up. She has more than six million combined followers across varied social media platforms. Her YouTube is a great success, with notable people often featuring in her videos. Moreover, she just launched her own apparel and lifestyle label and has become one of the most visible young golfers on social media. Still, for all these strategic approaches, this invitation for the teenager is part of her dream come true.

Tiger Woods, on the other hand, has stayed silent on Kai’s LPGA debut as of yet. He has never said anything about her or her golfing career. It should be noted that his son, Charlie Woods, attends the same school as Kai – The Benjamin School in Palm Beach. They’ve also been seen together at charity events and practice rounds. For his part, Charlie has been making impressive waves in junior golf, impressing his dad. One can only assume that Woods will have good things to say about Kai, too.

And we can support this claim because, apart from huge social media numbers, Kai Trump is, in fact, also a very talented player.

Kai Trump’s growing golf game shows genuine potential

While much of the attention around Kai Trump is focused on her famous lineage, her talent has also started turning heads. She has steadily built a foundation that reflects a genuine competitive intent. With a +0.5 handicap at Trump International Palm Beach, she plays to a level that qualifies as scratch golf. Meaning she’s capable of competing against strong amateurs and even lower-tier pro players.

Her victories in the 2022 and 2024 Women’s Club Championship at her home course back that up. She has also secured a third-place finish at the South Florida PGA event in July 2025. Meanwhile, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational Junior, she finished 26t,h and at the Dustin Johnson World Junior Championship, she registered a solo 29th. Currently, she’s ranked 461 in the AJGA rankings.

Kai will be joining the University of Miami Hurricanes women’s golf team for the Class of 2030. She made this commitment last year in August, and this step will take her further towards the pinnacle of women’s golf.

Charlie Woods sparks another big team win for The Benjamin

Charlie Woods sparks another big team win for The Benjamin School

Charlie Woods is enjoying the best season of his young golf career – and his winning run shows no sign of slowing down.

The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods helped The Benjamin School claim yet another team title on Tuesday, as the Bucs edged out fierce rivals Oxbridge Academy to win the District 13-1A Championship at the Champions Club at Summerfield in Stuart, Florida.

JUST IN: Huge Tiger Woods move being prepared as PGA Tour chief offers

Benjamin sealed a three-shot win on 6-under par in what proved to be one of the toughest district fields anywhere in the state.

The victory sets the tone for their 2025 postseason campaign and continues a blistering run of form for Woods and his teammates.

Charlie continues breakout season

This latest team win continues what has been Charlie Woods’ standout season to date – and more silverware could be on the horizon.

Earlier this year in May, he claimed his first-ever individual American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational — a breakthrough moment that showcased just how far his game has come.

He also made a stunning hole-in-one at famed TPC Sawgrass during the Junior Players Championship in September.

Woods has also been a consistent force for Benjamin throughout the fall, helping the school collect multiple tournament wins, including last month’s triumph at the South Florida PGA Junior Golf West Coast High School Championship at The Club at TwinEagles Talon Course in Naples.

At the District 13-1A Championship, Woods carded a 2-over 74 to finish tied for ninth, his round marred only by a double bogey on the par-5 8th, but otherwise full of solid, confident golf as has been the case all season.

While Woods added another steady score to Benjamin’s total, it was freshman standout Clint Lewis who led the line for the Bucs by winning the individual tournament.

The 14-year-old carded a six-birdie 5-under 67 to capture the individual district title, finishing two shots clear of Oxbridge duo Joey Iaciofano and Kenny Klein, along with Benjamin’s Andrew Tsar.

Lewis’ fearless play and clutch putting were key to Benjamin’s 282 total, while Tsar’s 69 and Matthew Stigliano’s level-par 72 rounded out a complete team performance for the Bucs.

The victory for Benjamin School will no doubt have put a smile on the face of Charlie’s father Tiger, who continues to recover from the seventh back surgery of his career earlier this month.

Former World No.1 and 15-time major champion Woods, who turns 50 before the end of the year, is likely now targeting a return to competitive action at The Masters in April 2026.

Benjamin and Oxbridge advance to Regional Championship

Benjamin and Oxbridge Academy – the last two Class 1A state champions – now both advance to the Region 4-1A Championships, which will be held at The Park in West Palm Beach on Monday 3 November.

The district event marked the first elimination stage on the road to the Florida High School State Championships, set for 11-19 November at Mission Resort + Club in Howey-in-the-Hills.

The field at the District 13-1A Championship featured four of Florida’s top 50 teams according to iWanamaker’s latest rankings:

No. 1 Benjamin
No. 8 Oxbridge Academy
No. 41 Cardinal Newman
No. 46 King’s Academy

Another win for the Bucs

Benjamin’s latest triumph with The Benjamin School adds to an already impressive 2025 campaign.

The Bucs have been dominant all season, racking up wins and proving themselves the team to beat in Florida high school golf.

For Charlie, the postseason brings yet another chance to underline just how far his game has matured.

His poise, ball-striking, and course management have all made major strides this season — and with his confidence soaring, he’s emerging as one of the most exciting young players in the state.

Much to his proud father’s delight.

Charlie is currently ranked ninth in the latest AJGA standings – but he is outside the top 900 in the world amateur golf rankings.

Huge Tiger Woods move being prepared as PGA Tour chief offers

Huge Tiger Woods move being prepared as PGA Tour chief offers update

Tiger Woods has battled an incredible series of injuries,as he just had his seventh back surgery, and many are questioning if he will ever return to the sport. Even though it’s unknown, many are anticipating an exciting return to the PGA, in hopes that Woods can get back to being an idol in the sport.

Woods had a torn achilles that cost him the entire 2025 season, and he’s had 33 injuries total throughout his career. Woods is coming off his second surgery of 2025. He had a separate procedure in March after he ruptured his Achilles tendon, and then had his second back surgery in just over a year. The last time Woods played was at the PNC Championship last year, and he was also set to make his return at the TGL in January.

READ: As Rory McIlroy eyes revenge, Tiger Woods’ favourite co

It has been suggested that Woods could return for The PGA Tour Champions, as he turns 50 on December 30th and that tour is open to professional golfers aged 50 and older. President of the senior tour, Miller Brady, is anxiously awaiting Woods return as he’s been preparing for a year.

“The answer is yes, we’re ready. We’re well prepared,” said Brady. “We’ve done some white boarding over the past year in preparation for Tiger turning 50, and if and when he plays, our tournaments will be prepared.”

Brady also went in depth on the preparations, but mostly pointed out how he wants Woods back to being healthy.

“It is going to be more,” he said. “And you mentioned it – security, buses, portalettes, concession stands – all of that is taken into account when we prepare for [Woods playing].

“To be honest with you, given the last surgery, I just hope that Tiger gets back on his feet and is able to play golf again.”

The PGA Tour announced its schedule for the 2026 season this week, and added two more tournaments and have a total of $69 million in potential prize money. PGA Tour player, Steve Stricker, said last year the Tour needs to make sure it’s adapting for Woods to be able to play.

“Let’s make sure he can play,” Stricker said. “You hate to make special rules but if we can get him out here with a cart, let’s do it, you know what I mean. “We should do everything we can.”

Tiger Woods’ favourite course to undergo revamp as Rory McIlroy eyes revenge

The Old Course at St Andrews is set for a facelift.

An extra 132 yards will be added to the iconic course ahead of the 155th staging of The Open, which St Andrews will host in 2027 for a record-extending 31st time.

The R&A’s Chief Governance Officer Grant Moir explained the decision to alter the course was made to ‘adapt to the way the modern game is played.’

JUST IN: Latest PGA Tour news may grab Tiger Woods’ attention

The logic behind the Old Course’s revamp

“Principally, when we had The Open here in 2022, the course played very well,” Moir said.

“It was very firm and very fast and that created a challenge, but certainly there had been an increase in the number of par-4s that were reachable and both par-5s were reachable most days.

“We wanted to reintroduce some of the strategic challenge of the course, but in addition to that there was a desire to restore some of the features that had been altered over the years. So that’s the rationale behind our desire to make these changes.

“We’re acutely aware of the sensitivities of making changes to the Old Course, but as anybody who has flicked through Scott MacPherson’s excellent book on the evolution of the Old Course will know, there have been regular and substantial over the years.

“We are being very sensitive to the history of the course with these changes, but we do feel that it’s appropriate to make these changes at this time to adapt to the way the modern game is played.”

Which holes at the Old Course are being changed?

Six holes – the 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 16th – at the Old Course will be lengthened.

However, the par-four 12th hole is set to be shortened.

Once those seven holes have been altered, the total length of the Old Course will sit at 7,445 yards, a reasonable increase on the 7,313 yard-distance at The Open in 2022.

The 5th, 6th, 7th and 10th holes will also receive new championship tees.

Australia’s Cameron Smith was the last man to win The Open at St Andrews.

Smith, who plies his trade in LIV Golf, claimed the Claret Jug in 2022 with a final score of 20-under in what marked his first and only major to date.

The Australian, who sports an iconic mullet, finished one stroke ahead of Cameron Young and two in front of Rory McIlroy, who at the time was in the midst of an eight-year major drought.

McIlroy’s wait for a major would extend to 11 years as he ended it at this year’s Masters to complete the career Grand Slam.

The Northern Irishman will no doubt be keen to add a second Claret Jug to his trophy cabinet when 2027 rolls around.

Why Woods loves the Old Course

However, he has work to do to if he is to catch up to golf superstar Tiger Woods, who has won the Open three times.

Woods was in the field the last time St Andrews hosted the major and many suspected it would be the American hero’s final time crossing the Swilcan Bridge.

The 49-year-old fuelled that sentiment when he became visibly emotional while on the course but chose not to replicate Jack Nicklaus’ act of stopping on the bridge and waving as he continued to walk on, indicating he wasn’t ready to bid farewell just yet.

To have simply made the event in 2022 an achievement in itself given Woods was involved in a near-fatal car accident just months before, as the golf great expressed his delight at being in his happy place.

“It is my favourite [golf course],” Woods said prior to the tournament.

“I don’t know how many Open Championships I have left here at St Andrews, but I wanted this one.

“It started here for me in 1995, and if it ends here in 2022, it does.”

The PGA Tour Champions have unveiled their 2026 schedule.

The over-50 circuit features 28 events as well as two new tournaments in Portugal and Pennsylvania.

In total, players will be competing for more than $69m in prize money – a slight increase from this season.

“We are thrilled to be adding new events in Portugal and Pennsylvania to an existing schedule highlighted by tremendous title sponsors in many markets which have become staples of Champions Tour golf,” said PGA Tour Champions president Miller Brady.

“The incredible play we’ve seen from some of the game’s legends this season is sure to continue in 2026, and we are looking forward to building on that continued momentum for our partners and fans.”

The announcement will be of particular interest to 15-time major champion Tiger Woods.

Woods turns 50 in December and could be eyeing up a few starts on the senior US circuit if he does in fact return to the golf course.

The golfer is currently recovering from the seventh back surgery of his career.

Woods had a disc replacement surgery earlier in the month after experiencing “pain and a lack of mobility in his lower back”.

The surgery, performed in New York, was a success but Woods has not revealed a potential timeline for a return.

It was a departure from previous public announcements where he has confirmed injuries.

The surgery marked the second time Woods has gone under the knife in 2025.

A post shared by GolfMagic.com (@golfmagic)

In March, Woods had surgery to repair a ruptured left achilles tendon suffered while training at home in preparation for the 2025 Masters.

He had withdrawn from Genesis Invitational weeks earlier following the death of his mother.

Woods has played a limited schedule since sustaining serious injuries in a car accident in February 2021.

He is not the only player who will soon be eligible to compete on the PGA Tour Champions.

Zach Johnson, Rory Sabbatini, Ben Crane and Ryan Palmer are also turning 50 within the next 12 months.

What are the chances Tiger Woods plays on the PGA Tour Champions?

We will have to wait and see how Woods recovers from his latest back surgery.

Jack Nicklaus, Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els are among the notables who have encouraged Woods to turn to the senior tour when he is eligible.

Harrington previously contended that Woods had personally told him that he couldn’t wait to beat him when he turns 50.

Nicklaus also made that assertion, explaining that Woods was definitely eyeing up a few starts and wasn’t against using a golf cart in competition.

Els even attempted to goad Woods with a cheeky dig, imploring the five-time Masters winner to “beat us again if you can”.

“I’ve said [to Woods], please come play,” Els told Golfweek.

“And I think it can only be beneficial to him. He will get himself in golf shape.

“You can ride a cart without any shame and if there was one guy that should be able to drive a cart, it’s him. And he can get his a– back in shape.”

Tiger Woods names three golfing idols he wishes were

Tiger Woods names three golfing idols he wishes were mic’d

In the future, major changes are expected in the world of sports, including the world of golf. One of the innovations that could be introduced is players being mic’d up. This approach has already been introduced by TGL, a popular technology league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Namely, they wanted to allow fans to have a more exciting experience, as if they were present on the course, given that each participant is completely microphone-covered.

Tiger Woods thinks that such an idea is great, and in an interview for the TGL Jupiter Links Golf Club team’s YouTube channel, he spoke about the legends of this sport.

JUST IN: How Close Is Scottie Scheffler to Breaking Crazy Tiger Woods Rec

Namely, Tiger named three players from his childhood who he would have liked to have played while being mic’d up.

“Well, Lee Buck (Trevino) for sure. Tommy Bolt would have been awesome … and Jim Thorpe,” Woods said.

All three names are well-known to golf fans, especially those older ones who enjoyed their performances.

Trevino was special for his charisma, character and humor. This is the reason why he had a huge fan base and why people still remember his performances and statements with nostalgia today.

In addition, Bolt was a similar player and often had impulsive reactions on the golf courses.

Thorpe was known for certain antics during his career, but he still remains a legend of the sport.

Whether the PGA Tour will take a similar approach in the future and want to cover the players with a microphone during the broadcasts remains to be seen, but it seems that such an idea is still far from being realized.

Is the PGA Tour ready for such a step?

If we were to look at how open fans are to such options, it is certain that younger golf fans are more open to such changes than older fans.

Be that as it may, the PGA Tour, as well as LIV Golf, pointed out that they are ready for innovation.

We will see if these innovations include microphone coverage of players during brodcasts.

How Close Is Scottie Scheffler to Breaking Crazy Tiger Woods Rec

By Admin October 28, 2025

Scottie Scheffler Is Very Close to Breaking Crazy Tiger Woods Record as New Stat Surfaces

Scottie Scheffler’s golf resume has been nothing but remarkable. The World No. 1 has dominated the PGA Tour this season with six wins. Scheffler especially thrives under pressure, showcasing flawless ball striking and a calm presence. Right from his old days at Texas to wearing the green jacket twice, his journey showcases that discipline and talent can redefine greatness. Now, Scheffler is set to create yet another milestone, one that Tiger Woodshad set.

A recent Instagram post showcased the all-time PGA Tour money leaders. Scheffler’s earnings have surged to $99 million, which is close to Wood’s record $120 million. In only a few seasons, Scheffler is leading with the numbers and is ahead of legends like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. At this pace, the 29-year-old might just break Woods’ record, cementing his place among golf’s most dominant forces.

READ: Tiger Woods Makes Honest Confession About His Declining

Scheffler’s streak this year has been extraordinary. He has won the title at the Masters, the Players, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational, while also finishing in the top 10 in almost every start. His focus off the tee and precision have made him the man to beat week after week. Scheffler plans to return to action at the Procore Championship, focusing on closing the year with another victory to his name.

Meanwhile, his steady climb up the PGA Tour’s all-time money list puts his success in perspective. Rory McIlroy, sitting at $107 million, remains one of the few ahead of him. Meanwhile, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson trail at $96 million and $75 million, respectively. Yet, none have matched Scheffler’s pace of earning. The American has achieved nearly $100 million in record time.

Scheffler’s story goes back to Ridgewood, New Jersey and where he learned golf at the age of three in Dallas, Texas. Having supportive parents helped him to go for junior tournaments, learning early lessons of discipline. He became a collegiate star at the University of Texas and earned his PGA Tour card in 2019.

His rise has been fast since then. Now, with nearly $100 million in career earnings, the kid who once practiced under Texas sunsets stands on the verge of surpassing Tiger Woods’ legendary record.

Scottie Scheffler is Redefining Golf’s Financial Game

With six wins already this year, Scottie Scheffler is racing toward a financial threshold that few in golf have even threatened. In addition to his dominance on the course, he is something of a phenomenon off it in endorsements and bonuses. As the sport’s money engines are starting to rev, his ascent could announce a new benchmark for elite players.

He’s not just winning tournaments. He’s winning the game of golf as well. With prize money, bonus structures, and endorsement deals all in place, Scheffler is constructing a ledger that extends well beyond yellow jackets and trophies.

Scheffler’s story isn’t one of sudden fame. Scheffler turned pro in 2018 and climbed his way up, season by season, until he reached world number one. By mid-2025, he’d already earned about $27.7 million on the course, plus another $23 million in bonuses. Add deals with Nike, TaylorMade, and Rolex, and his estimated net worth has crossed $100 million.

In modern golf, a single win can shift millions of dollars. Scheffler sits right where sport meets business. His results prove that talent still matters most. But in today’s world, it’s magnified by media attention and global sponsorships.

Tiger Woods Makes Honest Confession About His Declining

Tiger Woods Makes Honest Confession About His Declining Form Amid Extended Career Break

There was a time when beating Tiger Woods on the course was considered a bigger achievement than winning an event. His skills, abilities, and hard work were second to none, and he absolutely dominated the PGA Tour circuit for over a decade. But after multiple accidents, severe injuries, serious surgeries, and a lot of pain, Woods is only a shadow of his former self today. So when he was asked about the quality of his game at present, he was humble enough to face the truth and mock it.

In a video for the Jupiter Links Golf Club on YouTube, Will Lowery shot quickfire questions to Woods about his career experience. He asked about the big cat’s favorite golf course, players, and many other memories from his past. At one point, Lowery inquired what the 82-time PGA Tour champion’s golf ball would say about him if it could talk. Perplexed about the question, Woods gave it a moment’s thought before telling the host, “Now? You start laughing!”

The two had a good laugh before Lowery confirmed, “So, LOL’s?” Woods replied, “Right now, yes!” His honest and hilarious take about his game right now showed that Tiger has accepted the reality of the present. It might be the fact that he knows competing with the top players after so many health troubles would be quite challenging. Or he might understand that his game is not at its best as he is recovering from his 7th lower back surgery from a few days ago.

Either way, Tiger Woods has certainly fallen far from his best years. Whether he will be able to regain his prolific abilities once he recovers is yet to be seen. But as things stand, it is not telling even if he will ever consider making a return to the professional circuit. However, there are those who believe that fans have already seen the last of Woods after his recent surgery. Let’s see what they had to say.

Has Tiger Woods fallen too far off the ladder?

Only a few days ago, reports of Tiger Woods hitting a new career low had come to the surface. The former world #1 had dropped to the worst OWGR ranking of his career. He was outside the top 2000 golfers in the world, sitting at #2084. That really caught the attention of the fans as they wished him the best health, but also called for him to stop pursuing professional golf. Well, Johnson Wagner thinks that he might never make a return.

The former PGA Tour pro-turned-analyst told Trey Wingo, “I’m going to say this: I don’t think we’ll ever see him play in another major championship. He’s always been the guy that said he’s not going to be a ceremonial golfer. I just don’t see a world where we see him play in the Masters again. It makes me very sad. I just think his body is just beaten down, and I don’t think he can do it anymore.” That is the common belief in the golf community that Tiger Woods’s days as the top dog (or cat) or done. But he has proven everyone wrong before.
