McIlroy: Scheffler’s dominance could leave the field in the dust for Player of the Year

McIlroy finished 66th in Memphis, while Scheffler notched his 21st PGA Tour win (and second this year), pushing career earnings to about $119 million—near Tiger Woods’ all‑time record. The remark underscores Scheffler’s clear lead in the season and McIlroy’s tempered optimism about overtaking him.
