Why this one matters: people spent a summer asking if Scottie Scheffler had loosened his grip. He answered across three playoff events: St. Jude, a miss at the BMW (Wyndham Clark won that), then East Lake.
Final rounds 65-67-66-66 = 264, 16 under. Viktor Hovland 267. Ryan Gerard 268. Scheffler made up three shots in four holes on Sunday, a 5-iron to 2 inches on the second, a 25-foot birdie on the fourth. First time he posted the low 72-hole score at the Tour Championship. When he won in 2024 he started with a two-shot lead under the old starting-strokes format.
$10 million first prize from a $40 million purse. AP: he moved past Tiger Woods for most PGA Tour career earnings. Second FedEx Cup (2024, 2026). Rory McIlroy still has the most titles with three.
