Scheffler Wins Tour Championship, Passes Woods in Career Earnings

Scottie Scheffler completed a remarkable comeback on Sunday, August 30, 2026, to win the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, securing his second FedEx Cup title and surpassing Tiger Woods for the most career earnings in PGA Tour history. The world's top-ranked golfer fired a final-round 4-under-par 66 to erase a three-stroke deficit and claim victory by three shots over Viktor Hovland. Scheffler began the final round trailing overnight leader Viktor Hovland but quickly turned the tournament in his favor. A precise approach on the second hole set up an early birdie that ignited his rally. He tied Hovland with a 25-foot birdie putt on the fourth hole and took the outright lead for the first time on the 13th. Despite two bogeys, Scheffler sealed the win with an 11-foot birdie from a fairway bunker on the 16th, finishing the tournament at 16-under par. The victory earned Scheffler a $10 million prize from the $40 million purse, pushing his official PGA Tour career earnings to $130,390,661. This total moves him past the record of $120,999,166 held by Tiger Woods since 2000.
