Scottish sporting stars Robert MacIntyre and Andy Murray are set to team up in the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am, as the worlds of sport and entertainment come together at Wentworth Club.

Three-time Grand Slam winner and former tennis World Number One Murray, who called time on his stellar tennis career following this summer’s Paris Olympics, will make his debut in the star-studded BMW PGA Championship Celebrity Pro-Am of the DP World Tour on the Wednesday of tournament week, alongside famous names including football icon Gareth Bale and Hollywood actor Tom Holland, who returns for a third appearance alongside his twin siblings Harry and Sam.

Scottish Duo at DP World Tour

Murray will have the perfect partner at the famous Surrey venue in Rolex Series winner MacIntyre, who is looking forward to partnering with his fellow Scot. He said: “Andy is a hero to so many people in Scotland – and across the world – and it’s pretty exciting to be playing alongside him in his BMW PGA Championship debut.

“He’s been absolutely dedicated to tennis during his incredible career, but it looks like he’s been playing plenty of golf since his retirement, so I’m looking forward to seeing if all that practice has paid off!”

MacIntyre will be part of a world-class field when the BMW PGA Championship gets under way on Thursday, including fellow 2023 Ryder Cup stars Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Matt Fitzpatrick, Nicolai Højgaard, Justin Rose, and Sepp Straka.

Ryan Fox returns to defend his title at the third Rolex Series event of the season, alongside a host of former winners including European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald, Billy Horschel, Byeong Hun An, Matteo Manassero, Francesco Molinari, Alex Noren and Danny Willett.

Most recent winner Matt Wallace, who claimed his fifth DP World Tour title in Crans Montana on Sunday, and Major winner Adam Scott, currently fourth in the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex, also return to Wentworth Club. Meanwhile, PGA TOUR winners Will Zalatoris, Si Woo Kim and Peter Malnati will make their BMW PGA Championship debuts.

Festival of Sort

The BMW PGA Championship Festival of Golf takes place just outside central London, attracting more than 100,000 spectators each year, with the world class action inside the ropes set to be complemented by live entertainment on the Showstage from Groove Armada (Saturday) and Sigala (Sunday) and an unrivalled atmosphere in the vibrant Spectator Village.

The week starts with the G4D TOUR @ BMW PGA Championship, with some of the best golfers with a disability competing for the penultimate G4D Tour title on the iconic West Course on Monday and Tuesday.

That is followed by the star-studded Celebrity Pro-Am, which will see global celebrities and some of golf’s most famous names take to the fairways side-by-side. Further famous faces taking part this year include footballers Troy Deeney and Jordan Pickford, Rugby player Jamie George, TV stars Anton Du Beke and Michael McIntyre, cricketers James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Ollie Pope and Olympic swimming medallist James Guy, with more celebrities to be announced.

The Rolex Series tournament assumes a key position on the DP World Tour’s 2024 Global Schedule as part of the ‘Back 9’, encompassing nine of the Tour’s most historic tournaments and national opens, running from August to October. It gives members their final opportunities to secure their playing rights for 2025 and also advance to the season-ending ‘DP World Tour Play-Offs’.

BMW group owners will once again receive preferred parking benefits, while park & ride and shuttle services from local train stations will be available free of charge to all spectators.

FedExCup Fall Explained – Excitement and Opportunities on the PGA Tour

Fans can expect plenty of excitement and drama during the Fall Season on the PGA Tour. (Source: Getty)

The FedExCup Fall Series on the PGA Tour promises more drama and tension than ever, as players compete in top-tier events to secure their PGA Tour status. The fall tournaments offer winners the same benefits as regular-season events – including a two-year PGA Tour exemption, 500 FedExCup points, and entry into prestigious tournaments like The Players, The Sentry, and the Majors that invite PGA Tour winners.

FedExCup Fall: Fight for PGA Tour Status and Signature Events

The FedExCup Fall is also the time when the 125 spots for full-field events are up for grabs, along with a coveted place in The Players tournament for the following season. After the conclusion of the FedExCup Playoffs, players who are ranked 51st and below in the FedExCup standings continue to compete for points in the fall. They begin this stretch with all the points they’ve accumulated during the regular season and the first FedExCup Playoffs event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Additionally, the top 10 players on the FedExCup points list at the end of the fall, who have not yet qualified for the Signature Events, will have a chance to participate in the two Signature Events following the season opener. This allows rising stars to test themselves against the best players.

Those ranked 51st to 70th in the FedExCup standings at the start of the fall have already secured their Top 125 eligibility for the following year but are competing for spots in the first two Signature Events. Players ranked 71st and above can earn one of 10 available spots in these Signature Events, while also fighting to remain in the Top 125 of the FedExCup standings by the end of the fall season. Players who finish between 126th and 150th on the final points list will gain conditional status for the 2024 PGA Tour season. Any player outside the Top 125 will have the opportunity to improve or regain their Tour status through PGA Tour Q-School.

LIV Golf: These Stars Face Potential Relegation from the Tour

These LIV Golf players currently find themselves in the "Drop Zone." (Photos: Getty)

With just one event remaining in the 2024 LIV Golf season, the battle intensifies for players teetering near the bottom of the individual rankings. Players who finish 49th or lower are placed in the “Drop Zone,” meaning they’ll have to compete in the LIV Golf Promotions to secure a spot for the next season. While captains and contracted players are safe from relegation, many others are fighting to stay on the tour.

Team Captains in Safe Territory

Captains like Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer are immune to relegation due to their leadership roles, but for some of their teammates, the situation is far more precarious. Watson currently sits in 52nd place, but his captain status shields him from any consequences. Similarly, Kaymer, who leads Cleeks GC, is safe despite finishing last season in the “Drop Zone.” For other players, however, the final event could decide their future on the tour.

Varner and Perez: On the Edge

Harold Varner III (47th) and Pat Perez (48th) are two notable names hovering near the relegation line. Both players need strong showings in the final event, LIV Golf Chicago, to avoid falling into the “Drop Zone.” Varner, who finished 7th in last year’s standings, is particularly feeling the pressure after an unexpectedly poor 2024 season.

Vincent, Grace, and Canter: Last-Ditch Effort

Scott Vincent (49th) has managed to stay just above the relegation line, with top-25 finishes in the last four tournaments, but he needs another solid performance to secure his place. Meanwhile, Branden Grace (50th) and Laurie Canter (51st) are in similarly precarious positions. Grace has had an inconsistent season, mixing high points with disappointing results, while Canter’s limited schedule — just two events — has left him little opportunity to climb higher in the rankings.

Players at the Bottom

At the lower end of the rankings, Kalle Samooja (53rd) and Kieran Vincent (54th) are in serious jeopardy. Both players entered the league via the 2023 Promotions but have struggled this season. Samooja is firmly in the “Drop Zone,” while Vincent, with only 2.47 points and just one top-20 finish this season, has also been unable to escape the bottom of the leaderboard.

LIV Golf Schedule 2025 Overlaps with Important PGA Tour Tournaments

The LIV Golf League has announced the first four tournaments for the 2025 schedule. LIV Golf will start its season in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, February 6-8. A week later the saudi-financed circuit will head to Australia for one of their marquee events. LIV Golf Adelaide (Feb. 14-16) will once again be played on “The Grange”. LIV Golf Hong Kong (Mar. 7-9) and LIV Golf Singapore (Mar. 14-16) round out the first events of the 2025 schedule. At first sight it is obvious, that the circuit starts the next season with an international schedule. If you also take a look on which PGA Tour events will be played parallel to LIVs events, it will show, that the league is not backing down from important and prestigious PGA Tour tournaments.

LIV Golf Singapore and The Players on the same weekend

Certainly the most notable overlap is the one between the Singapore Event and The Players (Mar. 13-16). While this might be the most notable overlap, the other three are also woth noting. The season kickoff in Saudi Arabia will take place February 6-8 parallel to the WM Phoenix Open (Feb. 6-9). A week later the Adelaide event (Feb. 14-16) and the Genesis Invitational (Feb. 13-16) are set. Last but not least the Hong Kong tournament overlaps with the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

It has to be mentioned, that due to the time difference the events will not overlap in terms of (TV-)time. Nonetheless it will be interesting to see, if there is any effect on either of the tournaments.

Scottie Scheffler – A Season Of Superlatives

By winning the Tour Championship, Scottie Scheffler underlined his incredible season on the PGA Tour, which he also ended as FedEx Cup winner for the first time. The 28-year-old played a season of superlatives that brought back memories of a certain Tiger Woods. A look back at great triumphs, prize money records and a scoring average that is second to none.

Title No. 7 – Scottie Scheffler follows in the footsteps of Tiger Woods

For Scottie Scheffler, the triumph at the Tour Championship 2024 was not only the brilliant end to an exceptional season, but also his seventh victory on the PGA Tour 2024 – an achievement that had not been equaled since Tiger Woods in 2007. The 28-year-old also secured all of his tournament victories at prestigious events with well-known competitors. Scheffler’s first triumph of the calendar year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at the beginning of March was followed by a victory at the Players Championship just one week later. In April, the American recorded his third and biggest triumph of the season on the PGA Tour at the US Masters 2024, followed by a victory at the RBC Heritage a week later. In June, Scheffler finally triumphed at two more signature events: the Memorial Tournament and the Travelers Championship. The Tour Championship victory marks the crowning glory of this impressive season on the PGA Tour, including prize money of an incredible 25 million US dollars – the biggest individual prize money in the history of the PGA Tour.

TournamentPrize Money
Arnold Palmer Invitational$4.000.000
Players Championship$4.500.000
US Masters$3.600.000
RBC Heritage$3.600.000
The Memorial Tournament$4.000.000
Travelers Championship$3.600.000
Tour Championship$25.000.000

Including the FedExCup victory, Scottie Scheffler’s earnings on the PGA Tour this year amounted to an incredible 62.3 million US dollars – unsurprisingly another record. For comparison: Tiger Woods’ 2000 season is considered one of the greatest in history – he won three of his 15 major championships by a total of 24 strokes, won nine times in 20 tournament starts and collected around 9.2 million dollars that year. So much for the increasing prize money on the PGA Tour.

Olympic gold: Scheffler’s crowning glory at the gates of Paris

Scottie Scheffler did not celebrate possibly his most important victory of the year on the PGA Tour. On the outskirts of Paris, the 28-year-old was crowned Olympic champion for the first time after a final-day thriller. In his gold triumph, Scheffler set a course record at Le Golf National and beat Tommy Fleetwood from England (silver) and Hideki Matsuyama from Japan (bronze).

Scheffler delivers historic scoring record on the PGA Tour

Scottie Scheffler set another record with the lowest scoring average in the history of the PGA Tour. His average score of 68 strokes for the entire season is the lowest ever recorded in the PGA Tour statistics. This is also reflected in his season statistics: Scheffler leads the field on the PGA Tour in the ‘Strokes Gained’ category, as well as in ‘Greens in Regulation’ and the ‘Putting Average’, to name just a few statistics.

Arrest and baby happiness – “I feel like I’ve lived almost a full lifetime in this one year”

In addition to all the major triumphs, statistics and prize money, Scottie Scheffler also caused quite a stir off the golf course this season. While the birth of his son was the big highlight in the life of the world number one, many golf fans will probably remember Scheffler’s curious arrest at the PGA Championship. Following his Tour Championship victory, Scottie Scheffler summed up his year 2024 appropriately: “I feel like I’ve lived almost a full lifetime in this one year. It’s been nuts.”

Scottie Scheffler’s 2024 season was one of the most successful of all time. The 28-year-old American put on a dazzling finish at this year’s Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, securing not only the title but also the highest prize money ever paid out on the PGA Tour. With a final round of four under par and a total score of 30 under par over the week, Scheffler left his competitors far behind. This victory marked Scheffler’s seventh triumph of the 2024 season, a feat unmatched since Tiger Woods in 2007.

The Leaderboard of the Tour Championship

Record Prize Money for Scottie Scheffler

For his victory at the Tour Championship, Scheffler received prize money of an incredible 25 million US dollars – the largest single prize money in the history of the PGA Tour. In total, the Texan has earned almost 62.3 million dollars from tournaments this season, which is also a record.

The total prize money for the 2024 Tour Championship amounted to an impressive 100 million US dollars, an increase of 25 million US dollars compared to the previous year. The prize money for the winner alone increased by 7 million US dollars compared to the last two seasons. In addition to Scheffler, other players also managed to earn considerable sums this season. Xander Schauffele, for example, who collected almost 20 million US dollars thanks to two major victories, as well as Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama and Wyndham Clark, who all took home more than eight-figure sums. Even players who “only” finished in the top 5 at the season finale were able to enjoy bonus money of at least 5 million US dollars. And seven-figure sums were guaranteed for the top 12. All 30 participants in the tournament received at least half a million US dollars just for qualifying.

The top earners of the 2024 PGA Tour season (Source: Getty)
The top earners of the 2024 PGA Tour season (Source: Getty)

The 2024 PGA Tour season was not only a sporting highlight, but also a record year financially. Never before has so much prize money been paid out on the PGA Tour as this year. Every victory, whether at the prestigious majors or the regular tournaments, not only meant glory for the players, but also considerable sums in their accounts. Five players even broke the ten million dollar mark in official prize money.

Although there will be plenty more money handed out this week at the Tour Championship, including the 18 million dollars awarded to the winner, this is considered bonus money and not official earnings for the 2024 season. We are therefore already looking at the top earners for the 2024 season.

Follow the Tour Championship LIVE

The Top Earners of the 2024 PGA Tour Season

1. Scottie Scheffler – $29,228,357

Scottie Scheffler dominated the 2024 season, securing the top spot on the money list with over $29 million. A significant portion of this amount came from his triumph at the prestigious Masters Tournament, which not only earned him the green jacket but also provided a substantial boost to his bank account.

2. Xander Schauffele – $18,355,910

With his victory at the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon, where he lifted the legendary Claret Jug, Xander Schauffele secured second place on the money list. His consistent play throughout the season paid off, allowing him to earn nearly $18.4 million on the Tour.

3. Hideki Matsuyama – $11,237,611

Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama impressed with his win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. This success significantly contributed to his earnings of over $11 million, securing his place in the top 5 of the money list just before the season’s end.

4. Wyndham Clark – $10,901,416

Wyndham Clark delivered an outstanding performance at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he claimed victory despite challenging weather conditions. His total earnings of nearly $10.9 million earned him the fourth spot on the list.

5. Rory McIlroy – $10,893,790

Northern Irish superstar Rory McIlroy secured his place in the top 5 of the money list with his win at the Wells Fargo Championship and other consistent performances. He landed just behind Clark with earnings of around $10.89 million.

Collin Morikawa earned over $8.3 million. Although he didn’t secure a win this season, the world No. 6 delivered seven top-10 finishes in 20 tournaments, securing his place in the top 10 of the money list.

8. Sahith Theegala – $8,281,285

Sahith Theegala continued his impressive development, earning over $8.28 million in the 2024 season. Like Morikawa, the 26-year-old didn’t claim a title but displayed consistently strong performances. Nineteen cuts in 23 tournaments, including seven top-10 finishes, significantly boosted the Californian’s bank account.

9. Keegan Bradley – $6,879,455

Keegan Bradley earned nearly $6.88 million. In addition to his win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, he added another highlight to his season by triumphing at the BMW Championship. This rounded off a very successful season for the newly appointed Ryder Cup captain.

10. Patrick Cantlay – $6,279,965

Rounding out the top 10 is Patrick Cantlay, who also had a solid season, securing a spot among the top earners with over $6.27 million in earnings. Cantlay remained largely in the top 10 of the world rankings throughout the season, thanks to 17 out of 18 successful cuts and four top-10 finishes, ensuring his substantial earnings.
