  1. Why don’t you donate all, 100% of your PGA income to Charity and get a regular job for all your actual income?

  2. You never heard him say this at the start of his career only says it now because he doesn't need the money anymore he has made enough for him and his family for their whole lifes

  3. Corporate folks get paid millions for the ryder cup tickets are sold to the public at extortionate rates this money should go to the players or reduce the cost to fans not corporate greedy bastards

  4. He plays the game because he loves to play the gsme…he states money is NOT the reason, he has a job to do like all of us…we do that job hopefully because we love that job/dedicated to due that job…he is simply gifted

  5. What a load of garbage. Every struggling Korn ferry pro aspire to play on PGA to make money to put food on the table. He is clearly out of touch. By the way, his earning for 2024 is $55M+. Delusional arrogance.

  6. Perfect psychology there. And not just in golf. Play, work, live full of joy and passion. Money might follow. And if it doesn’t, may you find enough to have peace and a modicum of happiness

  7. So many haters here. To do anything at a high performance level = $$$$$$$ doesn't mater if it's a CEO, Entrepreneur the hours of work, practice, and learning so to the haters go back to your job tomorrow and smile for your boss, save some money join a Golf club play golf and see if you can beat the course but especially yourself!!

  8. Never have I seen so many comments from ignorant, begrudging idiots. Scottie is the world's number 1 player in professional golf. His record in 2024 is one for the ages. He is a humble person in my eyes. You can either believe his comments to be sincere or not, but he doesn't deserve the vitriol handed out here.

  9. COME ON SCOTTY . YOU SOUND LIKE TIGER TELLING GOLFERS TO EARN IT INSTEAD OF SINGING WITH LIV. TIGER GOT 100 MILLION BEFORE HE WAS ON THE PGA TOUR. SO GIVE ALL YOUR MONEY TO ME .

  10. I'm really against gambling to Mr. Scheffler, broadcasting shares that
    are sent to you in the mail is acceptable
    sponsorships are a Bonus, I think.

  11. Play for free🤣you gotta have lots of money to be a member at golf courses my friend! You played for free because you were a wealthy privileged kid! So save the BS BECAUSE it ain’t FREE to play a round of Golf for the average Joe!

  12. I don't play golf for money. It's crazy thst these idiots say this. Then give it away when you win it. Live like the middle class then

  13. Stop hating …Man all you scrubs in the comment section. GOOD FOR SCOTTIE. I work my ass off- to make good money- Maybe you scrubs should get a better hustle.

  14. I like Scottie a lot and I believe he is sincere, but if he was getting paid minimum wage for these tournaments then he would find another profession

  15. The point most of the respondants here are missing is that sure, someone like Scottie's at the TOP now. Way more $ than he could ever spend, TBH.

    But most of his life, he was playing for nothing. Or for very close to nothing. How much do you think he was getting paid spending hours at the range when he was 13?
