What a final on Sunday at the 2026 Tour Championship! Scottie Scheffler not only claimed the victory but also his second FedEx Cup in three years. An absolute display of dominance that perfectly caps off his dominant season. For a short time, it looked as if others would dominate the headlines, as Min Woo Lee was really strong at the start of the week and Adam Scott stubbornly remained in the leading group until the very end.
At East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Scheffler demonstrated what it means to perform under pressure. He overcame a three-shot deficit in the final round, carding a magnificent 4-under 66. This brought him to an impressive 16-under par overall, securing a three-stroke victory over Viktor Hovland. With this masterful performance, he joins the esteemed company of legends like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who have also claimed multiple FedEx Cups.
