Scottie Scheffler’s $62 Million earnings could set an unimaginable record

In 2024, Scottie Scheffler achieved great success on the golf course. This success translated well into his financials, as Scheffler made a historic $62 million this year. Golf.com's The Drop Zone recently compared Scheffler to Juan Soto based on his earnings.

Soto, an MLB athlete, has reportedly agreed to a 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets. The panelists on The Drop Zone made a case that if Scottie Scheffler was given the same contract based on his earnings this year, he would be worth a staggering $930 million.

After this video went viral on X (formerly Twitter), Golf.com's James Colgan mentioned he would think about giving Scheffler Juan Soto money. He wrote:

"Scottie Scheffler made $62 million in a historic 2024. If he were a free agent today, and a 15-year contract was in front of him? I’d think about giving him Juan Soto money!!"
