PGA Tour money leaders: Open champion Scottie Scheffler opens big lead over No. 2 Rory McIlroy
Scheffler's victory in the British Open and its $3.1 million first-place check pushed his title to more than $19 million this season, more than $3 million over second-place Rory McIlroy. Since the combined first-place checks for this week's 3M Championship ($1,512,000) and next week's Wyndham Championship ($1,476,000) are less than $3 million, Scheffler can't be caught until the playoffs.
The first two playoff events offer $3.6 million to the winner and the Tour Championship in Atlanta Aug. 21-24 has an $18 million payout.
Little movement on the PGA Tour money list
Chris Gotterup had another good week on the British Isles, following his victory in the Scottish Open with solo third at Royal Portrush and $1,128. That pushes him from 51st to 30th with $3,714,337. He's earned more than $2.7 million in the last two weeks.
Another big jump was by Harris English, who earned $1,759,000 for his solo second and moved from 15th to eighth. He now has $7,734,152.
Ryan Gerard's victory in the Barracuda Championship earned $720,000, moving him from 44th on the money list to 31st with a bit more than $3.6 million.
Other than that, movement was relatively minor among the money leaders.

Is Investing in the Nasdaq-100 a No-Brainer Move?
Key Points The Nasdaq-100 index features the top growth stocks in the world, and tracking it has resulted in significant returns for long-term investors. Since the tariff pause back in April, both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 have soared more than 25%. Heightened valuations, however, could mean more limited returns in the short term. 10 stocks we like better than Invesco QQQ Trust › Investing in the top growth stocks on the Nasdaq stock exchange has generally been a good move for investors. And by tracking the Nasdaq-100, an index of the most valuable nonfinancial stocks on the exchange, investors can easily get exposure to the best and brightest growth stocks. But with valuations soaring this year and the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 index hitting record levels, is it still a no-brainer option to invest in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the Nasdaq-100? Or is now the time to shift away from the index and perhaps pivot into safer investments? Why investing in the Nasdaq-100 makes sense for long-term investors If you're a long-term investor who just wants to add an ETF to your portfolio that you can forget about, the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) can be a compelling option. It tracks the Nasdaq-100, and in just the past five years it has more than doubled in value and outperformed the overall market. Since the ETF tracks an index of top stocks, it means that you don't have to worry about keeping tabs on how individual stocks are doing; the Nasdaq-100 will automatically adjust and add companies that are rising in value while also dropping ones which are no longer among the top 100. This strategy can make the ETF a good no-nonsense means of investing in many of the best growth stocks in the world. There's simply not much of a substitute for investing in growth stocks. While safer options can result in less volatility in a given year, you're likely to perform far better by targeting the fastest-growing companies in the world. Over the past decade, the S&P 500 has generated total returns (including dividends) of more than 260%. While that's impressive, the Invesco QQQ Trust is up by over 450% over that same period. It has been the better investment by far. Should you be worried about the market being at record levels? One reason you might be thinking twice about investing in growth stocks or tracking the Nasdaq-100 index right now is that stocks are around record levels. Both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 have hit record highs this year, despite question marks looming about what's ahead for the economy. Since April 8, which is around the time "reciprocal tariffs" were paused, the S&P 500 has rallied by nearly 30% while the Nasdaq is up close to 40%. There has been a lot of economic volatility, and there is definitely the danger that if investors become concerned about tariffs, stocks could be headed back to the lows they reached in April. I certainly wouldn't rule out a potential decline in the market in the near future, and this is a risk for investors to consider, especially in light of how hot stocks have been in recent months. Is it still a good time to invest in the Nasdaq-100? If you're investing for the long term, i.e., five years or more, then it can still be a good option to invest in a fund such as the Invesco QQQ Trust. There is always going to be risk and uncertainty when you have exposure to growth stocks, particularly tech growth stocks, where valuations can become enormous. However, even if there is a bad year for the markets in the near future, it's likely to recover, just as it always has. As long as the U.S. economy continues to grow, the S&P 500 is likely to rise in value as well. And with the Nasdaq-100 focused on growth, it may continue to outperform. If your investing time frame is shorter than five years, then it may be a good idea to focus on safer stocks to preserve your capital or even to put money into bonds. But if you're in it for the long haul, then it can still be a no-brainer move to invest in the Nasdaq-100. Should you buy stock in Invesco QQQ Trust right now?

"That's what he's preached and that's what we've been focusing on. We were turned around at one point and just struggling to go anywhere. We were just able to reset and regroup. Luke [Lambert, crew chief] did a really good job for this No. 77 Chevrolet team to at least put something on the board and be able to go into next weekend with a little momentum with two top-10s in a row.' Post-race confrontation While he didn't directly address the incident with Smith in the above quotes, the opposing FRM team was eager to address it with him. Ryan Bergenty, who works as the crew chief for the No. 38, confronted Hocevar after the race in a heated conversation. reporter Stephen Stumpf even caught the beginning of the tense interaction on video. Hocevar has been involved in several run-ins this year, including an infamous multi-week feud with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., as well as various other drivers throughout the field. The 22-year-old is having an impressive season with flashes speed, but Smith is just the latest of many enemies he has made along the way.
