Scottie Scheffler clinched his second FedEx Cup title on Sunday, rallying to win the Tour Championship and $10 million at East Lake in Atlanta. The victory also propelled Scheffler to the top of the PGA Tour's all-time money list, surpassing Tiger Woods.
Scheffler, who began the final round three shots off the lead, carded a 4-under-par 66 to finish at 16 under. Key shots included a 5-iron that landed inches from the cup on the second hole and a 25-foot birdie putt on the fourth.
Following his win, Scheffler sought a private moment with his family. As he joined his wife Meredith and their children to celebrate, a CBS television camera continued filming through an open doorway. Scheffler eventually noticed the camera and, with a smile, placed his cap over the lens to shield the intimate family scene.
This desire for privacy has been a theme for Scheffler, who has previously stated that being a great father is more important to him than being a great golfer. He celebrated a previous victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship with his wife and two sons, including 4-month-old Remy, who was present for his father's PGA Tour win for the first time.
The Tour Championship victory brings Scheffler's career PGA Tour earnings to $130,390,661.
