Scheffler pulls away for 6-shot lead at Tour Championship (USA TODAY)

ATLANTA (AP) — Scottie Scheffler returned to East Lake on Sunday morning looking every bit like the No. 1 player, pulling away with four birdies in six ...

He won just over $14 million in the regular season — already a record, and not surprising given the steady rise in prize money. He sent his next tee shot so far to the right that he had to hit a provisional in case it was out-of-bounds. Schauffele also hit a good one to 10 feet and missed again. Scheffler is the No. Scheffler holed birdie putts from about 5 feet on the 13th and 15th holes. At the time, he was one shot ahead.

2022 Tour Championship leaderboard, winner: Rory McIlroy comes ... (CBSSports.com)

One could not discuss the future of the PGA Tour this season without Rory McIlroy's name being on their lips. On Sunday at the 2022 Tour Championship, ...

Beginning the week in the second position at 8 under, the Californian was a mainstay on the first page of the leaderboard despite some struggles on the greens. The self-belief king should only continue this trajectory heading into next year as he has added two victories, a top-five finish at the Tour Championship and (more than likely) an appearance for the United States in the Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow -- the site of his first PGA Tour win -- to his playing résumé. One of only four players to not break par in the third round, Schauffele wasn't able to keep up with his playing competitor, Scheffler, and eventually the rest of the field. Playing his final 56 holes in 18 under, Homa was able to climb from the depths of the leaderboard and into a seven-figure paycheck. He had gotten within one stroke of the lead on multiple occasions, but it was a double bogey on the par-4 14th that ultimately took his name out of FedEx Cup contention. That was a spectacle out there today -- two of the best players in the world going head-to-head for the biggest prize on the PGA Tour -- and I hope everyone at home enjoyed that." The adopted son of Atlanta, Im was casually going about his business and tried his damnedest to recover from a major blunder on his back nine Sunday. While the bounces went the way of the 26-year-old at the year's first major championship (and for much of the year), on Sunday, the golf gods willed the man from Northern Ireland to victory, making amends for a season that featured four top-10 finishes in the major championships including a heartbreaker (in The Open Championship at St. With a win, Scheffler would have secured the richest season in the history of the PGA Tour and only the fifth five-win season of the last decade, joining Tiger Woods, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. Starting the week with a two-stroke lead, building it to as many as seven and beginning the final round with a six-stroke edge, Scheffler simply let the FedEx Cup slip through his fingers. However, it was the third-round back nine that he concluded early Sunday that made him a true contender as Rory birdied three of his last six holes to card a 63 and claim his spot alongside Scheffler in the final pairing as he put pressure on the 54-hole leader despite a six-stroke deficit. McIlroy later mentioned the "battle of Georgia" between the two titans of the game as Scheffler got the better of McIlroy at the 2022 Masters at Augusta National in April.
