Scottie Scheffler, the leader in the FedEx Cup standings heading into this week’s Tour Championship, holds a 3,769-point advantage over No. 2 Rory McIlroy after winning the BMW Championship on Sunday.

Like so many times before in his PGA Tour career, Scottie Scheffler delivered his best when his best was required. This time, at the 2025 BMW Championship on Sunday, it was among his most spectacular efforts yet.
