ATLANTA—Scottie Scheffler capped 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.
