On Sunday, Scottie Scheffler defeated Kevin Kisner 4&3 in the championship to win the WGC-Dell Match Play in Austin, Texas.

Scheffler’s third win in his last five starts catapulted him to World No. 1, ending Jon Rahm’s 14-week reign. In March alone, his season earnings have jumped to a whopping $7.4 million, leading the money list.

The 25-year-old has joined rare company and — with a Tour-leading six top-10s — is by far the hottest golfer heading into the Masters in April. Scheffler is the sixth-youngest player to reach No. 1 (Woods, Spieth, McIlroy, Thomas, Rahm).

He’s the first since 1997 (David Duval) to earn his first three career wins over five starts.

He took home $2.1M for the win, bringing his career total to $14.9M.
Scheffler holds a commanding 780-point lead in the FedExCup standings; the season-long winner receives $18M.
