The FedEx Cup playoff tournaments culminate in the Tour Championship, where the top 30 golfers on the FedEx Cup points list compete. The winner receives the FedEx Cup trophy and $25 million. The FedEx Cup playoffs' 18th iteration, the 2024 Tour Championship, will run from August 28 to September 1.
Originally known as the "Nabisco Championship," the competition started in 1987 and was renamed the Tour Championship in 1991. Furthermore, the Tour Championship has always been one of the last events of the PGA Tour season, even though the FedEx Cup was added in 2007. Its field was restricted to the top 30 money leaders from the preceding season of the PGA Tour until 2007.
Tour Championship 2024 Leaderboard
Scottie Scheffler won the 2024 Tour Championship over Collin Morikawa by four shots. Scheffler began the final round far ahead of the field, but after a bunker shank on the eighth hole, his seven-shot lead was reduced to two shots over Collin Morikawa. Scheffler then birdied the next three holes to end the event, including the opening shots.
Scheffler with a score of -10 played the tournament in 20-under 264 and won with a 30-under total. Xander Schauffele, Adam Scott, and Russell Henley were all five shots behind Sahith Theegala, who finished alone in third place on the FedEx Cup leaderboard with a 24-under total. Theegala would have ended in a tie for second place and if he hadn't penalized himself two strokes in the third round for touching the sand in a bunker by the smallest of margins.
