Scheffler Wins FedEx Cup at East Lake

Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx Cup on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026, shooting a 4-under 66 at East Lake to take the Tour Championship by three shots over Viktor Hovland. Sky Sports had him at 16 under after he erased a three-shot deficit, mixed six birdies with two bogeys, and banked the $10 million first prize. It is his second FedEx Cup in three years and, Sky wrote, a pass of Tiger Woods for the PGA Tour career-money lead.

Hovland took a one-shot 54-hole lead Saturday at 15 under, with Scheffler three back at 12 under. Sunday flipped it. Sky said Hovland opened with a bogey at the first, Scheffler stuffed the second to tap-in range, then drained a 24-foot birdie at the fourth to pull even at 14 under. Hovland's closing 72 left him second. Ryan Gerard, the overnight co-leader, started with a double bogey and finished third.

Back nine, then the 16th. Sky Sports tracked a first bogey in 25 holes at the seventh, a seven-foot birdie at the eighth, another birdie to start the back nine, and a five-foot birdie at 13 that put him back in front. He bogeyed 14 after missing the fairway, then recovered from a bunker off the 16th tee to make a 12-foot birdie and double the lead. Two-putt 17, lay-up and par 18. That is a 66, 16 under, three clear.
