While the finish at this weekend’s Tour Championship determines where a player falls in the final FedEx Cup points standings for 2025, it won’t decide how much every player gets from the $US100 million FedEx Cup bonus pool.
Scottie Scheffler erased a big deficit early, took the reins at the halfway point, held on like hell and delivered an exclamation mark at the end, capturing the BMW Championship for his fifth win of the season.
When you’re the world’s best golfer, you can afford flash cars, million-dollar mansions, even your own private jet. But Scottie Scheffler? He just forked out $50 on eBay for… a divot repair tool.
Four masterful rounds raised serious questions about whether golf is witnessing generational excellence or something approaching all-time greatness. Yet somehow, Scheffler felt almost secondary to a man who finished seven shots behind.
The comparisons, debate and analysis of Scheffler’s past four seasons to some of Woods’ greatest runs are inevitable. And upon closer examination, it’s a legitimate exercise because the ways in which they stomped on their peers are very similar in some respects – and quite a bit different in others.
