Scheffler Overcomes Deficit to Win the FedExCup
Scheffler did not start the final round as the leader. He was three strokes behind Hovland heading into the final day. However, with a 4-Par 66, the American still managed to pull away decisively. He finished the tournament at 16 under Par, three strokes ahead of Hovland. Gerard finished third.
The victory marks Scheffler’s third win of the 2026 season and the 22nd of his career on the PGA Tour. He also won the FedExCup for the second time, following his victory in 2024. Along with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, he is now one of only three players to have won the season title multiple times.
What the prize money means for Scheffler’s career
The $10 million prize for the victory also holds historic significance for Scheffler. It brings his official career earnings on the PGA Tour to $130,390,661. This puts him ahead of Tiger Woods, whose total stands at $120,999,166.
This comparison refers exclusively to official tournament prize money. It does not include sponsorship earnings, bonuses, or the players’ total net worth. Furthermore, prize money on today’s PGA Tour is significantly higher than it was during Woods’ most successful years. The earnings record should therefore not be equated with the number of tournament wins: Woods won 82 tournaments on the PGA Tour, while Scheffler now has 22.
For Scheffler, the Tour Championship prize money caps off a season that was less dominant during the regular season than in his previous years. In the playoffs, however, he won two of the three tournaments—and secured the biggest title at the season finale.
