Just when the first three weeks of the PGA Tour looked as if it would be the start of another dominant season by world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, another player with New Jersey ties has pushed his way to the top of the money list 

Chris Gotterup, who was born on Maryland’s Eastern Shore but raised in Little Silver, N.J. (Scheffer was born in Ridgewood, N.J.), beat Hideki Matsuyama in a playoff to win the WM Phoenix Open on Feb. 8, his fourth Tour title in two years and his second of the season. 

Chris Gotterup celebrates after winning the 2026 WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.

Gotterup, who won the Sony Open last month to start the season, earned $1,728,000 for winning at the TPC Scottsdale and moved to first on the money list with $3,498,000. Scheffler, who shot 65-64 on the weekend after nearly missing the cut, ended up tied for third with four other players, who all finished one shot out of the playoff. 

Scheffler earned $439,680 and is second behind Gotterup with $2,095,680. Ryan Gerard, the money leader last week, did not play and dropped to third. 

Big changes in store at Pebble Beach 

This week’s tournament, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, is the first Signature Event of the season and will bring a total purse of $20 million, with the winner earning $3.6 million. The top 11 players on the money list and 18 of the top 20 are in the field, so expect some turnover when the past putt drops at Pebble’s iconic par-5 18th hole.
