Scheffler wins Tour Championship, claims second FedEx Cup and passes Tiger Woods for PGA Tour earnings record
Scottie Scheffler erased a three-shot deficit Sunday with a 4-under 66 to win the Tour Championship, capture his second FedEx Cup title and move past Tiger Woods as the PGA Tour’s all-time career money leader.
Scheffler began his comeback with a 5-iron that stopped just 2 inches from the hole on the 211-yard second. He later tied Viktor Hovland with a 25-foot birdie on the fourth hole before taking the lead for good on the 13th and holding on at East Lake.
The victory marked Scheffler’s third of the year and his second in the past three weeks during the PGA Tour postseason. That total ties him with Chris Gotterup, Matt Fitzpatrick and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark for the most wins on tour in 2026. Scheffler previously won the FedEx Cup in 2024.
The PGA Tour’s player of the year is determined by a vote of the players. Scheffler has won the Jack Nicklaus Award in each of the past four seasons, and another victory would tie Woods for the most consecutive player of the year honors.
Scheffler’s career earnings also reached a new milestone. The Tour Championship’s $40 million purse counts as official PGA Tour money, and Scheffler’s $10 million winner’s share increased his career earnings to $130,390,661.
Woods had held the top spot on the career earnings list for nearly 26 years. During his peak from 1997 through 2008, the largest purse he competed for was $10 million.
The victory also provided some redemption for Scheffler after he lost to Hovland in a playoff at the Travelers Championship earlier this year. That defeat was one of five runner-up finishes for Scheffler during the 2026 season.
