List of Golfers who won Tour Championship Year by Year

Last Modified Oct 24, 2024 22:45 GMT

The Tour Championship is a professional golf tournament held on the PGA Tour. Prior to 2007, its field was limited to the top 30 money leaders from the previous PGA Tour season. It has always been one of the last events of the season. From 2007 onwards, FedEx Cup points earned during the season determined eligibility for the championship match, which was the last of four FedEx Cup Playoff events. The event was hosted on multiple courses between 1987 and 1996, but East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta has hosted the tournament permanently since 2004.

Beginning in 2019, the tournament used a revised format to ensure that the winner also won the FedEx Cup. Based on a technique akin to the Gundersen method in Nordic combined, the player who has the highest FedEx Cup point total prior to the tournament begins at ten points below par. The second-highest scoring player begins at -8, followed by the third at -7, the fourth at -6, and the fifth at -5. The starting point for those ranked 6 through 10 is -4, for those ranked 11 through 15, -3, and so on, down to even par for those ranked 26 through 30. Starting scores in relation to par are not taken into consideration for the Official World Golf Ranking; only aggregate scores are.

Who won the PGA Tour Championship in 2024?

Scottie Scheffler defeated Collin Morikawa by four strokes to win the 2024 Tour Championship. Scheffler had a seven-shot lead over Collin Morikawa going into the final round, but he was down to two shots following a bunker shank on the eighth hole. Then, including the opening shots, Scheffler finished the event by birdieing the next three holes, earning $25 million in winner's share.

Scheffler, who entered the event in 10 under, finished with a 30-under total. Sahith Theegala finished alone in third position on the FedEx Cup leaderboard with a 24-under total, five shots ahead of Russell Henley, Adam Scott, and Xander Schauffele.

Who won the PGA Tour Championship in 2023?

Viktor Hovland emerged victorious in the 2023 Tour Championship, winning the FedEx Cup by a stroke at Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club. The winner's share of the $75 million purse, valued at $18,000,000, went to Hovland.

Even though Hovland had a significant lead going into the final round, he still needed to play outstanding golf to win. He was challenged by Xander Schauffele with a front-nine 31, but he maintained composure and hit several clutch putts to win the trophy—his second in a row and third in 2023.

Hovland shot a 72-hole score of 19-under 261 to win on a 27-under total after opening the event on 8 under par. He won by five strokes over Schauffele, who closed with 62 and was 19-under. In the end, Schauffele finished in second place, a full shot ahead of Wyndham Clark, who took solo third place.
