Scottie Scheffler won the Tour Championship on August 30, 2026, closing with a final-round 66 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta to finish 16-under par and capture his second FedEx Cup title in three years. Scheffler began the final round three shots behind Viktor Hovland under the tournament's staggered scoring format, caught him on the 10th hole, and pulled ahead for good with a birdie on the 16th. The victory was his 22nd career PGA Tour win and came after a midseason slump and health issues had briefly interrupted his dominant run atop the world rankings. With the win, Scheffler also passed Tiger Woods for the most career earnings in PGA Tour history, and he became just the fourth player, joining Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Phil Mickelson, to win the Tour Championship more than once since the FedEx Cup playoff format began in 1987. All 30 FedEx Cup finalists started the Tour Championship at even par under the event's staggered start, meaning Scheffler's final-round performance outright decided the outcome on the course. The community underestimated his chances, with only 38% predicting he would win, and that forecast proved wrong as Scheffler again proved the best closer among the field's elite.
