Scottie Scheffler speaks softly and carries a big wallet.

Scheffler's arrival was cemented at the 2022 Masters, when he secured his first major tournament win, donning the green jacket at the end of the weekend. Scheffler's hot streak from the start of the WM Phoenix Open in 2022 has continued all the way into Augusta in 2023, and he has an opportunity to continue making history.

Scheffler finished out the 2021-22 season with the most prize money ever won in a single season, and the money train hasn't exactly stopped. Through 10 events, Scheffler has already banked over $10 million in prize money, a gaudy figure for the world's No. 1 golfer.

Now, the 27-year-old has an opportunity to join some golf royalty this weekend. Only three players in Masters history have won the tournament in back-to-back years: Jack Nicklaus (1965, 1966), Tiger Woods (2001, 2002) and Nick Faldo (1989, 1990). If he continues his hot streak, he could be the fourth.
