Scottie Scheffler concluded the PGA Tour season by winning the $10 million Tour Championship, a victory that propelled him past Tiger Woods to become the all-time leading earner in PGA Tour history. Scheffler finished the tournament at 16-under par, three shots ahead of Viktor Hovland.
Following his win at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta on Sunday, August 30, 2026, Scheffler shared that his immediate post-victory plans included a cheeseburger and fries, and potentially a milkshake. He also noted a craving for a beer, which he consumed for the first time in a while. "It tasted great," Scheffler told reporters, describing the beer as "well-earned" now that the season had concluded.
Scheffler, 30, has now earned $130.4 million on the tour, exceeding Woods' career total of $121.1 million. This season, Scheffler secured three PGA Tour wins, bringing his career total to 22 victories. Earlier in the playoffs, he won the FedEx St. Jude Championship, earning $3.6 million.
After the tournament, Scheffler was seen with his wife, Meredith, and their two sons, Bennett and Remy. He briefly paused to place his hat over a camera lens, signaling a desire for private family time. His wife expressed surprise at his decision to have a beer, to which Scheffler responded that it was a well-deserved end-of-season indulgence.
Scheffler is now set for a three-week break before participating in the Presidents Cup at Medinah on September 22, where he will represent the American team against the International team.
