Scottie Scheffler won his second FedEx Cup title and 22nd PGA Tour event during a remarkable five-year run, closing the Tour Championship with a 4-under 66 at East Lake. He erased a three-shot deficit in four holes, took the lead on the 13th and finished three shots ahead of Viktor Hovland, while Ryan Gerard placed third. Scheffler’s victory was his third of 2026 and his second in the last three postseason events, tying Chris Gotterup, Matt Fitzpatrick and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark for the most titles this year. The $40 million Tour Championship purse counted as official money, giving Scheffler $10 million and lifting his career earnings to $130,390,661, past Tiger Woods. The win also strengthened Scheffler’s case for a fifth straight Jack Nicklaus Award, which would match Woods’ record for consecutive honors. Unlike his 2024 victory under the starting-strokes format, Scheffler posted the lowest 72-hole score at East Lake this time. He celebrated with a beer after waiting for the final groups to finish.
