Scottie Scheffler has won the 2024 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf in Atlanta, Georgia. He finished on the top of the FedExCup standings with a score of 30 under par. However, he's not the one with the lowest score in the tournament.

Scheffler was on the top of the FedExCup standings and started with a score of 10 under par. Without the 'starting scores' Scheffler would have finished third in the tournament.

Collin Morikawa had the lowest score at the Tour Championship. He scored 22 under 262. Since he was 7th in the FedExCup standings before the tournament, he started the tournament with a score of 4 under par.

Sahith Theegala is another player who finished better than Xander Schauffele. He carded 21 under 263 at the Tour Championship. Russel Henley, Adam Scott, and Justin Thomas made significant jumps in the FedExCup standings despite not getting a decent headstart like Scheffler and Schauffele.
