Scottie Scheffler wins PGA Tour's FedEx Cup title, $25M payday

Scottie Scheffler capped off the biggest year in golf in nearly two decades by winning the sport's biggest prize.Challenged briefly Sunday in the Tour Championship, Scheffler responded with three straight birdies to make winning look as inevitable as it has seemed all year. He closed with a 4-under 67 for a four-shot victory over Collin Morikawa to capture the FedEx Cup and its $25 million prize, the richest in golf.That pushed his season earnings, including bonuses, to just under $62.3 million.It was the greatest year since Tiger Woods won eight times in 2006, including six in a row and two majors, all while dealing with the death of his father. Scheffler's eight wins included the Masters, The Players Championship, an Olympic gold medal and the Tour Championship that enabled him to finally claim the FedEx Cup.His seven PGA Tour titles are the most since Woods in 2007.
