Scottie Scheffler is your FedEx Cup winner for 2024 after another week of near faultless golf got him over the line at East Lake.
Scheffler finished on 30-under par to see off the impressive Collin Morikawa by four shots and win his first Tour Championship title.
In the process, Scheffler bagged himself a cool $25m to take his prize money to over the $60m mark for the 2024 season.
Scheffler has now beaten Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus in being the quickest from win one to 13 on the PGA Tour and the sky is the limit really heading into 2025.
Of course, to win as much as Scheffler does, it takes a steely focus and grit.
And after observing him all week on commentary, major winner Justin Rose noted a particular moment of concentration from Scheffler with just a few holes to play.

Speaking on the co-commentary for Sky Sports this weekend, Rose was suitably impressed by Scheffler for the entire final round.
And commenting specifically on Scheffler on the 15th green, Rose caught how the world number one had been completely in the zone.
“I noticed when when he was making that long walk around the water with those big hospitality units and the crowd there he didn’t drop his guard one bit did he,” Rose said.
“Didn’t break his gaze, just had his head focussed all the way around the corner and he’s taking nothing for granted.”
After Scheffler briefly lost his head at the BMW Championship last week, there was no such frustration on display this week at East Lake.
Scheffler was simply too good for the field and given Collin Morikawa produced some of his best golf of the year to push him, it’s quite stunning the level he’s playing at.
As Rose says here, the focus and grit to keep going is admirable and the moment on 15 today just about summed up why Scottie Scheffler keeps on winning.
