Scheffler claims second FedEx Cup, moves past Woods in career earnings
Scottie Scheffler won his second FedEx Cup title at the Tour Championship, marking his 22nd PGA Tour victory. This win allowed him to surpass Tiger Woods in career earnings for the season.
Why it matters
Scheffler's performance solidifies his status as the dominant figure in professional golf, setting new financial and competitive benchmarks for the sport.
ATLANTA — Scottie Scheffler's second FedEx Cup title, and his 22nd victory on the PGA Tour during this astonishing five-year run, was different from all the others, even if looked all too familiar.
He had just closed with a 4-under 66 in the Tour Championship on Sunday — no one else from the leading six players broke par — and Scheffler had to wait for the last two groups to finish to make it official.
“There was an open bar inside and I'm like, ‘All right, I’m grabbing a beer.' It tasted great,” Scheffler said. “I don't really drink often. My wife and manager were like, ‘Wow, I haven’t seen you have a beer in a long time.' Well, season's over now. I'm going to have a beer. Well-earned beer.”
There was no arguing that, and there's no longer a debate over who had the best season in golf.
