Scottie Scheffler Wins Second FedEx Cup, Breaks Woods Record
Scottie Scheffler erased a three-shot deficit Sunday at East Lake, shooting 66 to win the Tour Championship and his second FedEx Cup in three years.
- $10 million winner's share came from a $40 million total purse.
- $130,390,661 in career earnings moves Scheffler past Woods' $120,999,166.
- Viktor Hovland shot 72, made one birdie, and finished alone in second.
- Ryan Gerard made double bogey on hole one and finished third, one shot behind Hovland.
Why it matters: Scheffler is only the third player to win the FedEx Cup more than once, joining Tiger Woods (2007, 2009) and Rory McIlroy (2016, 2019, 2022).
- Woods held the career earnings record for nearly 26 years, never playing for a purse larger than $10 million during his peak.
- East Lake will host its final Tour Championship in 2027; the format shifts to match play in 2028.
