First-time winner climbs past Scottie Scheffler in 2025 season's exclusive standing

Following his first PGA Tour win last week, Andrew Novak has surpassed Scottie Scheffler in the 2025 season's money list. With the Zurich Classic win alongside Ben Griffin, he has earned $5.6 million this year, moving ahead of the World No. 1 golfer in this year's rankings.

Last week, Novak arrived at TPC Louisiana after a playoff loss at the RBC Heritage. He continued his strong form there as well, teaming up with Griffin to claim his first-ever PGA Tour title. This victory earned him a paycheck of $1,329,400.

The 30-year-old golfer has recorded four top-ten finishes this season, helping him accumulate $ 5,587,605 in earnings. On the other hand, Scottie Scheffler has earned $4,929,197 so far in eight starts.
