Tommy Fleetwood produced one of the PGA Tour’s most popular victories in recent history at the Tour Championship. And the final day’s TV ratings certainly back that up.
Scheffler’s efforts at the Tour Championship earned him some $US2.6 million in prizemoney, but it would have been a lot more under the staggered-start format that had been used from 2019 to 2024.
Not only did those at East Lake Golf Club show their appreciation, moments after the final putt dropped on the PGA Tour season, many of the world’s top sports stars went to social media to send their love to Fleetwood.
The PGA Tour has announced three significant changes to format for the season-ending Tour Championship, with potential for more to come such as a smaller field.
World No.1 Scottie Scheffler put the bow on a magical season when he lifted the PGA Tour’s ultimate prize, the FedEx Cup for the first time at the Playoffs finale, the Tour Championship. His four-stroke triumph made it a grand total of seven victories in 2024 where he was also the gold medal winner at the Paris Olympic Games. This is his blog from East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta.
The previous two years Scheffler arrived as the top seed and exited as just another guy with deep pockets – and his hands were stuffed frustratingly to the bottom of them in dejection. This time, his hands cradled the huge FedEx Cup trophy.
