Scottie Scheffler has been a dominant force throughout the 2024 PGA Tour season, claiming six victories and leading the points race. This impressive performance has given him a two-shot advantage heading into the Tour Championship weekend, where the winner will take home a staggering $25 million.
As the top seed, Scheffler started the tournament at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta with a head start, beginning his round at 10-under-par. His consistent play has put him in a commanding position, holding a five-shot lead over Collin Morikawa, with a final round left to play.
Scheffler remains focused and composed, despite the immense pressure of the season's largest prize. "I've played solid all week and am looking forward to the challenge of finishing the tournament strong," Scheffler shared with reporters.
While Morikawa trails by five strokes, he acknowledges the need for an extraordinary round to challenge Scheffler's dominance. "I knew I needed something special this week, and tomorrow will require something truly remarkable," Morikawa said.
The 2024 Tour Championship marks a historic moment, offering the largest prize in PGA Tour history at $25 million, an increase of $7 million from the previous year. As the tournament reaches its climax, all eyes are on Scheffler to see if he can cap off his stellar season with a victory and the coveted FedEx Cup.
