The 2020 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year claimed the number one position in the Comcast Business Tour top 10 and earned himself a $4 million bonus - beating Cameron Smith to the prize.
 
Scheffler won the WM Phoenix Open on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff against Patrick Cantlay in February this year and it was his maiden title on the PGA Tour.
 
Three weeks later, Scheffler won his second career PGA Tour title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational before clinching the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas March this year.
 
The New Jersey-born golfer clinched the Masters' Tournament, defeating Rory McIlroy by three strokes four months ago - his maiden major title win.

“I’m proud of securing the top spot in the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 as it represents great competition over the course of a season against the best players in the world,” Scheffler said. 
 
“This is a great reminder of all the hard work I’ve put in over the years with the support of my family and team.”
 
While Eileen Diskin, CMO, Comcast Business, said, "On behalf of Comcast Business, congratulations to Scottie Scheffler for claiming the top spot in this year’s Comcast Business Tour Top10, and to all the outstanding players who clinched a position on the leaderboard."
