Tiger Woods won the PGA Tour's final Player Impact Program (PIP) in 2024, earning a $10 million prize despite playing in only five events. Woods' sole made cut was at the Masters, where he finished 60th at 16 over par.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler claimed second place and $8 million after a remarkable season that included seven Tour victories, an Olympic gold medal, and the Hero World Challenge. Rory McIlroy, the previous year's winner, finished third.

While this marks the end of the PIP, the Tour has introduced the Player Equity Program, which will distribute $100 million to the top 20 players based on similar criteria.
