Scheffler is the second player ever to win the Arnold Palmer, the Players, the Masters, and the Memorial in the same season, joining Woods in 2001.
He's the first player since Arnold Palmer in 1962 to head into the U.S. Open with five or more PGA TOUR wins that season, including a major.
Scheffler earned $4 million in prize money for his victory, moving his total season earnings to $24.02 million, breaking his own single-season earnings record set in 2023 ($21.01 million).
Elsewhere at the Memorial, Adam Hadwin booked his ticket to the Open Championship with his third-place finish.
Additionally, Adam Scott and Robert MacIntyre are expected to earn spots in the U.S. Open after the world golf rankings update Monday. It'd mark Scott's 92nd straight major appearance, the second-longest streak in history behind Jack Nicklaus' 146.
