The Tour Championship some thought would bore ended up providing an all-time thrilling finish, concluding with Rory McIlroy becoming the first three-time FedEx Cup winner.
McIlroy, who began the final round six strokes behind No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler, completed the largest final-round comeback in Tour Championship history late Sunday at East Lake Golf Club. He was already one of two multi-time FedEx Cup winners along with Tiger Woods (2007, 2009). McIlroy, 33, also won in 2016 and 2019.
“Back in 2019, I took down the No. 1 player in the world in Brooks Koepka; this year, I took down the No. 1 player in the world in Scottie Scheffler,” McIlroy said. “So I know that my best stuff is good enough to win any tournament against anybody on any golf course. That’s something I can take away from today.”
