Scottie Scheffler overturned a three-shot deficit at East Lake Golf Club on Sunday, closing with a 4-under 66 to win the Tour Championship and his second FedExCup by three strokes.

The World No. 1 finished at 16-under, with Viktor Hovland alone in second place on 13-under and Tour Championship debutant Ryan Gerard another shot behind. The victory earned Scheffler $10 million and lifted his official PGA Tour career earnings to $130,390,661, moving him past Tiger Woods at the top of the career money list.

Woods, whose official total stands at $120,999,166, had occupied first place for nearly 26 years. Rory McIlroy is third with $119,555,514.

Scheffler overturns the deficit

Scheffler began the final round three shots off the lead but immediately applied pressure. His 5-iron at the 211-yard par-3 2nd finished two inches from the cup, setting up a tap-in birdie.

A 25-foot birdie at the fourth pulled him level with Hovland, although Scheffler had to wait until the 13th to take the lead outright. His round included bogeys at the 7th and 14th, but he was the only player from the final three groups to break par.

Scheffler extended his lead at the par-4 16th, finding the green from a fairway bunker and converting the resulting 11-foot birdie putt. He completed the closing stretch without another dropped shot.

“This was a week I brought a lot of good energy to the course and tried to do my best,” Scheffler said during the trophy presentation. “Coming from behind and being able to win tournaments is a really cool feeling.”

The 66 matched the lowest round of the day and was Scheffler’s best Sunday score at East Lake since a 65 in 2020. He has now recorded 12 consecutive rounds in the 60s at the course.

Hovland cannot convert chances

Hovland entered Sunday with a one-shot lead but made only one birdie during a closing 72. Three putts caught the lip without dropping across a four-hole stretch, two for birdie and one for par.

The 2023 FedExCup champion finished second for a $5 million prize. It was only the second time in seven attempts that Hovland had failed to convert a 54-hole lead or co-lead into victory.

Gerard fell back with a double bogey at the opening hole. He followed it with 13 consecutive pars and also shot 72, securing his fourth top-3 finish of the season.

A second FedExCup and 22nd Tour win

Scheffler joins Woods and McIlroy as the only players to win multiple FedExCup titles. Woods won in 2007 and 2009, while McIlroy has three victories. Scheffler’s first came in 2024.

The Tour Championship was Scheffler’s third victory of 2026, following wins at The American Express and the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He has won multiple PGA Tour events in five consecutive seasons.

Across 20 starts this year, Scheffler recorded 13 top-five finishes, including five runner-up results. He made 19 cuts, with each completed tournament producing a top-25 finish. His only missed cut since the start of 2022 came at the Genesis Scottish Open.

At East Lake, Scheffler led the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green and Strokes Gained: Approach. He averaged 305.3 yards from the tee and ranked 16th in putting.

The victory was the 22nd of his PGA Tour career and his 25th worldwide, including Olympic gold in Paris in 2024. Scheffler has won 13 of those Tour titles by at least three shots.

PGA Tour players will vote on the Jack Nicklaus Award for Player of the Year. Scheffler has won it in each of the past four seasons, and a fifth consecutive award would match Woods’ record.
