Points and Payouts: Scottie Scheffler collects $4.5 million, 750 FedExCup points at THE PLAYERS Championship
1 Min Read
Not that anyone needed a reason for why Scottie Scheffler deserved to be a heavy favorite at THE PLAYERS Championship, but he went out and proved why, anyway.
With a field-low-tying, bogey-free 64 in the final round, Scheffler posted 20-under 268, good for a one-stroke victory over a trio of the closest chasers. In the process, he’s the first to successfully defend a title in the history of the tournament. What a gift and a celebration for its 50th anniversary.
The stage for Scheffler’s unprecedented success was readied in earnest with a hole-out for eagle from 92 yards on the par-4 fourth hole of the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday. He’d follow with six birdies and finish as Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark and 54-hole leader Xander Schauffele all played on behind him, but all of whom checked up at T2 and one stroke behind.
Scottie Scheffler's eagle hole-out from 92 yards is the Shot of the Day
Scheffler was available at +550 to prevail pre-tournament at BetMGM. Combined with his odds of +650 to win last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, which he did by five shots, that’s a combined +1200. So, given that THE PLAYERS was the 12th tournament of the 2024 season, if you wagered the same dollar value for only the pre-tournament favorite in each, then you'd have broken even today. Hey, there are worse things.
Scheffler banks 750 FedExCup points for the victory, and just like last year, he pockets $4.5 million.
Naturally, odds for the runners-up were more attractive, but ultimately irrelevant. Schauffele was third-shortest at +2000, Clark was +3300 and Harman was +6600.
