  "summary": "Scottie Scheffler won the 2026 Tour Championship and secured the FedEx Cup title, taking home a $10 million check. According to Yahoo Sports, this was his third win of the year and his second FedEx Cup title, making him one of only three players, along with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, to achieve this feat.\n\nScheffler's victory at the Tour Championship in Atlanta came with a final round score of 4-under 66, giving him a three-shot win over Viktor Hovland. Hovland had entered the final round with a one-shot lead but bogeyed the opening hole, allowing Scheffler to take control.\n\nThe total purse for the tournament was $40 million, with Scheffler's win earning him the top prize. His dominance on the golf course has continued, with SB Nation noting that he is likely to win Player of the Year for a fifth consecutive time and has only the Career Grand Slam, specifically a U.S. Open title, left to achieve.",
