Scottie Scheffler caps dominant year with FedEx Cup title

Scottie Scheffler dominates Tour Championship, wins FedEx Cup, and secures $25 million bonus in commanding 2024 campaign.

The inevitable became official Sunday afternoon at East Lake Golf Club: Scottie Scheffler won the Tour Championship and clinched the 2024 FedEx Cup, the first season-long championship of his PGA Tour career.

Scheffler finished a whopping 30 under par and defeated Collin Morikawa by four strokes after an eventful round of 4-under 67. The World No. 1 added a FedEx Cup to his growing resume and took home the corresponding $25 million bonus.

Scheffler made up for back-to-back bogeys by ripping off a three-birdie run at Nos. 9-11. A 15 1/2-foot eagle putt at the par-5 14th was the final highlight of Scheffler's commanding 2024 campaign that reasserted his status as the best golfer in the world.

Morikawa applied pressure early and went on to shoot 66 - not enough to get in Scheffler's way.

The stoic Scheffler cracked a smile at caddie Ted Scott after tapping in for par at No. 18.

"It's a pretty special feeling to be finally holding the trophy," Scheffler said.

For the third consecutive year, Scheffler entered the Tour Championship at 10 under with a two-shot head start thanks to the FedEx Cup starting strokes format. He finished the job after failing to convert in 2022 and 2023.
