Rory McIlory has spent the past few months being the face of the PGA Tour in its battle against LIV Golf.
On Sunday, he battled for himself and roared back to win the PGA Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup, which was worth a cool $18 million bucks. This is his third FedEx Cup title of his career and was a perfect end to what has been a great year for one of the best players in the world.
Scottie Scheffler started the tournament with a 2-stroke lead and had a six-shot leading going into the final round but struggled down the stretch and finished in a tie for second, one shot behind McIlroy.
