Rory McIlroy’s name shines above the rest when it comes to FedEx Cup championship titles. The golf world witnessed McIlroy's remarkable feat in 2022 as he overcame a challenging start to the FedEx Cup Playoffs finale and a significant 10-stroke deficit to Scottie Scheffler. It marked McIlroy's third triumphant Tour Championship win, sealing his status as the undisputed champion of the FedEx Cup. His victory wasn't just about the glory; it came with a stunning $18 million grand prize.
