Scheffler Wins 5th Title Of The Season

Scottie Scheffler earned his 11th PGA Tour win at the 2024 Memorial Tournament. His 11 wins include two Masters, two Players (the richest event on the PGA Tour), two Arnold Palmer Invitationals, two WM Phoenix Opens (one of which was a signature event) as well as a Match Play, an RBC Heritage and now a Memorial.

The Memorial win brings his career on-course earnings on the PGA Tour to $66,589,782. This latest victory has leapfrogged him past Justin Rose and Adam Scott into the No 7 slot.

🚨New Record: Scheffler set a new single-season PGA Tour earnings record with his latest triumph at the Memorial Tournament. It’s the third consecutive season that Scheffler set the record for most official money earned.

Scheffler earned $4 million for his fifth win of the season, bringing his total earnings to $24,024,553. This surpasses his previous record of $21,014,342 from last season.

📌Morikawa Falls Just Short: Collin Morikawa closed with a 1-under 71 at Muirfield Village for a solo second finish at 7-under. Morikawa trailed Scheffler by four strokes into the final round but refused to fold, as epitomized by a 32-foot birdie at the par-3 12th to pull within a stroke - but it wasn't enough.

Nonetheless, he moves from sixth to fourth on the FedEx Cup standings, further solidifying his ascent to form in recent months – which has correlated with a return to longtime swing coach Rick Sessinghaus.

 🚀Hadwin's Challenge: Adam Hadwin finished a solid third at Muirfield, four strokes behind the leader. It was a great week for the Canadian for multiple reasons.

One, he has secured a spot at The Open Championship at Royal Troon. Two, this result boosts his chances for representing Team Canada at this summer’s Olympic Men’s Golf Competition in Paris by jumping a projected 24 spots in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).

Rahm's US Open Chances Suffer Major Setback

Jon Rahm has suffered a concerning injury just three days before the US Open. The unfortunate incident took place when he was driving the ball at the par-3, 163-yard 7th hole during last week's LIV Golf event in Houston.

Rahm withdrew from the event during the second round on Saturday stating that it was a foot infection. There were already question marks over Rahm’s fitness after footage emerged of him grimacing in pain after hitting a tee shot on the seventh hole during round one and the latest injury only makes matters worse for him.

The 29-year-old, who also won the 2023 Masters, is due to hold a news conference on Tuesday in the build-up to the US Open which begins on 13 June at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.

🏥 Aberg’s Injury Concerns: While Rahm's participation in this week's US Open is doubtful, Ludvig Aberg is gunning for a maiden Major title amidst injury concerns. Aberg had injured and torn his knee meniscus partially while lifting in the gym earlier this season and reports suggest he hasn't fully recovered.

On the brighter side, Aberg was not disrupted by the knee injury as much as he finished T-5 at the Memorial. But constant wear and tear might aggravate the reportedly torn meniscus.

Though Aberg did take a break from golf for two weeks, it might not be possible for his knee cartilage to recover fully.
