Tour Championship purse, payouts: Scottie Scheffler earned $10 million while winning the FedExCup at East Lake
Scottie Scheffler picked up his third win of the year on Sunday afternoon in Atlanta to wrap up the PGA Tour's season.
In the closing moments of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, Scottie Scheffler secured his third win of the year and the FedExCup title with a $10 million prize. The world's top-ranked golfer posted a 4-under 66 in the final round, ultimately claiming a three-shot victory over Viktor Hovland and the rest of the field.
With this triumph, Scheffler joins Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as only the third players to win multiple FedExCup titles. Hovland entered the final day as the sole leader, but a series of bogeys saw him fall to second place at 13-under. Scheffler, meanwhile, birdied his way through the opening four holes and capitalized on a crucial 11-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole to secure his win.
The Tour Championship awarded a total purse of $40 million, with the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings competing for the lucrative prize. Scheffler's victory marks his 22nd win on the PGA Tour, surpassing Tiger Woods as the all-time earnings leader on the circuit.
