Despite being the world's top-ranked golfer , Scottie Scheffler's humble abode suggests that the 28-year-old has managed to keep his feet firmly on the ground amidst his meteoric rise to fame. Scheffler is heading into this weekend's Players Championship as a hot favorite, riding high off an incredible 2024 season where he bagged his second Masters title and clinched Olympic Gold at the Paris Games. But while the two-time major winner could easily flaunt his staggering wealth, it seems Scheffler opts for a more low-key and modest lifestyle off the green.
The Texan golf star boasts an impressive net worth of $110 million, thanks largely to his success on the course. In 2024 alone, the PGA Star raked in $19M in tournament winnings, including hefty $3.6M checks from both The Masters and RBC Heritage within a span of just 43 days.
His victory in the FedEx Cup added another $25M to his earnings, catapulting him onto the PGA Tour's all-time earnings list. Yet, despite his ballooning bank account, Scheffler resides in a relatively modestly-priced mansion in the Devonshire neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. Purchased for $2.
1M in 2020, Scheffler's luxurious residence, while still upscale, isn't quite the ostentatious mansion one might expect from someone with a net worth exceeding $100M. Scheffler shares this home with his high school sweetheart and now wife, Meredith, and their young son Bennett, reports the Irish Star . The mansion, sprawling nearly 5,000 square feet has five bedrooms and six baths.
It also boasts opulent features such as an expansive master bedroom equipped with a sitting area, and his-and-hers closets. The property extends to a vast half-acre lot outdoors, complete with a large backyard retreat that includes a covered patio, a fireplace, and a swimming pool. According to Zillow , Scheffler's estate is now valued at a cool $3.
2M. Scheffler has maintained his position as the world's No. 1 golfer for over 100 weeks.
He enters this weekend's Players Championship as a two-time champion, having won the title in 2023 and 2024. However, it's not just his home that sets him apart from some of the sport's heavyweights. Scheffler famously declined an invitation to participate in the LIV Golf League, opting to forgo a substantial sum of money to stay on the PGA Tour.
In explaining his decision to remain with the PGA, he said: " My dream was to play on the PGA Tour. My dream was never to maximize my financial benefits. I feel very blessed and fortunate to play golf and get paid for it, so for me, I'm not looking to go out and do anything else.
" The 2022 Masters Champion has been best friends with his wife Meredith since high school, and she has disclosed that it was his grounded personality that drew her to him. "At the beginning of high school I always thought he had a super humble ambiance about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn't take himself too seriously," she said. "Even when he had amazing accomplishments, that wasn't the most important thing about him.
