Scheffler Wins Tour Championship to Claim Second FedEx Cup and Overtake Tiger on Money List

The comeback underscores how much larger purses are changing career records on the PGA Tour.

Overview

  • Scottie Scheffler rallied from a three‑shot deficit to shoot a final‑round 66 and win the Tour Championship on Sunday, finishing 16‑under and three strokes clear of Viktor Hovland.
  • The victory earned Scheffler the $10 million first prize and the FedEx Cup title for the second time.
  • The $10 million payout pushed Scheffler’s official PGA Tour career earnings to $130,390,661, moving him past Tiger Woods on the tour’s all‑time money list.
  • Scheffler’s comeback featured a near‑ace on the par‑3 second and a key birdie from a fairway bunker at the 16th while Hovland closed with a 72 and lost the overnight lead.
  • The result arrives as the PGA Tour confirmed East Lake will host the Tour Championship only through 2027 and said it will shift to a match‑play‑weighted playoff format in 2028, and the week was marked by sponsor controversy around a pulled Good Good Golf ad and partner splits.
