ATLANTA — The most PGA Tour victories in 15 years. A Masters green jacket and an Olympic gold medal.
And now Scottie Scheffler is one round away from capping off his astonishing 2024 season with a FedEx Cup title and its $25 million prize.
Scheffler had four birdies over his last five holes Saturday at East Lake Golf Club for a 5-under-par 66 to extend his lead to five shots over Collin Morikawa in the Tour Championship.
He also knows the work is not done.
Two years ago, Scheffler finished the third round of a rain-delayed Tour Championship on Sunday morning by building a six-shot lead. He fell apart that afternoon with a 73 and watched Rory McIlroy race past him to capture the PGA Tour’s big season-ending prize.
