Scottie Scheffler captured the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday, marking his 21st career PGA Tour win and placing him third on the all-time wins list for youngest players, behind only Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. The victory propelled Scheffler to $119 million in career earnings, just over $1 million shy of Woods' record.
Scheffler finished the tournament at 17-under par, defeating second-place finisher Si Woo Kim by an eight-stroke margin. His final round performance included a 4-under 66. This win marks Scheffler's second of the 2026 season, with his first coming in January at the American Express tournament. Throughout the current season, he has achieved 10 top-5 finishes, including five runner-up placements, underscoring his consistent performance.
The World No. 1 golfer earned $3.6 million for his performance at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. His consistent play has drawn comparisons to Tiger Woods' dominance in the early 2000s.
Scheffler, now 30 years old, has won four major championships and is seeking to complete the grand slam with a U.S. Open victory. He is expected to compete in the upcoming BMW Championship, the second event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, followed by the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
Scheffler's playing partner and close friend, Sam Burns, finished tied for third at 8-under par after encountering early challenges in the final round.
