Scottie Scheffler held off playing partner Collin Morikawa to complete a dominant PGA Tour season with FedExCup victory at the Tour Championship.
The world No 1 took a two-shot lead into the season finale and never relinquished top spot at any point throughout the tournament, despite seeing a seven-shot advantage temporarily cut to just two strokes on the final day. Scheffler fired three consecutive birdies around the turn to reclaim control of the tournament and closed out a four-under 67 to end the week on 30 under, with the win seeing him become the first player since Tiger Woods to win seven times in a season on the PGA Tour.
Morikawa fell further behind despite adding another birdie at the par-five 14th, as Scheffler slotted in from 15 feet for eagle to get to 30 under and leave him on the brink of victory. Four pars along the closing stretch was enough for Scheffler to close out a 13th PGA Tour title and cap off his 2024 campaign in style, where he became the first player to win The Players, The Masters and the Tour Championship in the same season.
