Scottie Scheffler won the Tour Championship by shooting a final-round 67, finishing four shots ahead of his competitors and claiming the FedEx Cup title, which earned him $25 million. During the round, he had a notable blunder when he shanked a bunker shot on the Par 4 eighth hole, leading to a bogey. This moment was playfully scrutinized by ESPN's Mark Schlabach, who asked Scheffler why he shanked the shot, prompting a humorous yet detailed explanation from Scheffler about golf club physics that drew laughter from the press conference. Despite the mistake, Scheffler quickly regained his focus, birdying the next three holes and sealing his victory with an eagle. His response to the reporter's question was met with mixed reactions online, with many appreciating his dry humor. Scheffler's performance throughout the season has been compared to some of the best in recent PGA Tour history.
