The tournament, held in Atlanta, saw Scheffler notch a final round four-under-par 66, while Lee posted a two-under-par 68 to finish tied for fourth. Adam Scott, who had previously won the event in 2006, finished tied for 11th, six shots behind Scheffler.

Lee, a debutant at the Tour Championship, tied for fourth with Scott, along with England's Alex Fitzpatrick, Americans Jacob Bridgeman, Russell Henley, and Chris Gotterup, as well as McIlroy and Swede Ludvig Aberg. Despite starting three shots behind Min Woo Lee and Adam Scott in joint third place, Scheffler closed the gap to claim his third consecutive FedEx Cup title.",
