Scheffler recently won his eighth title of the season at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, winning by six shots ahead of Tom Kim after a nearly three month break from the game.
It has been a highlight year for the Texan, which he started by winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March 2024, before he went on to winning The Players’ Championship, The Masters, the RBC Heritage, the Memorial Tournament, the Travelers Championship and the FedExCup, along with winning the President’s Cup with Team USA.

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan congratulated Scheffler in a press release announcing the award, writing, “On behalf of the PGA Tour, congratulations to Scottie Scheffler on a truly historic season, capped off with his first FedExCup title and today a third consecutive Jack Nicklaus Award as PGA Tour Player of the Year. Scottie took on challenges from the best players in the world on the biggest stages all season, and being honoured as PGA Tour Player of the Year is the ultimate sign of respect from his peers.”
Scheffler is next in action on next Tuesday as he teams up with Rory McIlroy in a showdown event against LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.
