Viktor Hovland ended the PGA Tours season with a dominant win on Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n
Hovland rolled to a five-shot win on Sunday to win the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, which officially won him the FedExCup Playoffs. He posted a final-round 7-under 63 on Sunday, which concluded his second straight win to end the Tours season. <\/p>\n
Hovland's huge outing came on the heels of his win last week at the BMW Championship. Hovland carded a course-record 61 in his final round outside of Chicago to overtake Scottie Scheffler and grab his fifth career win. He then built up a six-shot lead entering Sundays final round in Atlanta, and rolled to his sixth career win without any issue. <\/p>\n
With his win on Sunday, Hovland earned himself an $18 million check. That bumped his career earnings up to about $44.6 million. The FedExCups bonus pool hit $75 million this year, and the top eight finishers this week each earned at least $2 million. Emiliano Grillo and Taylor Moore, who finished tied in last, still brought home more than $500,000 each. <\/p>\n
Xander Schauffele finished in second at 22-under, and U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark finished in third at 16-under 11 shots back from Hovland. <\/p>\n
