Matt Fitzpatrick climbs to the top of PGA Tour money list with RBC victory
Who's leading the PGA Tour in earnings after the lucrative signature event at Hilton Head?
Matt Fitzpatrick climbed to the top of the PGA Tour money list with his playoff victory over Scottie Scheffler at the RBC Heritage on April 19 at the Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, S. C. , and surpassed a personal milestone in terms of his bank account.
Fitzpatrick has slightly more than $9. 1 million in earnings this season, topping his previous career best of $8. 1 million in 2022-23, the season in which he won the first of his two RBC titles and also posted a tie for 10th in the Masters, a tie for ninth at The Memorial, and a tie for second at the BMW Championship.
The native of England has a knack for finishing strong in big-money events. The RBC is a signature event for which he pulled in $3. 6 million.
Fitzpatrick earned $2. 725 million for a solo second in The Players (more than the $1. 638 million for winning the Valspar Championship a week later) and cashed six-figure checks at the Masters, Pebble Beach, the Genesis Invitational and the WM Phoenix Open.
