Rory McIlroy started the final round six shots behind Scottie Scheffler, but walks away with the $18 million first-place prize.

McIlroy looked poised to take control on the long par-4 14th after a perfect, 346-yard drive, one of his many 330-yard bombs for the week, but blocked his second shot and short-sided himself. He seemed to like his approach, even twirling his club, but the ball sailed long into the gallery behind the green, leaving a difficult third shot from the trampled down rough with the green running away from him. However, Sunday afternoon, Scheffler looked far from the player who dominated much of the Spring and had earned a two-stroke advantage to start the tournament in the staggered-start format. But McIlroy found himself as one of LIV’s most outspoken critics and, along with Tiger Woods, led some of the player effort to make wholesale changes to the PGA Tour. He caught another break with the ball ricocheting back into to play. Just this week, McIlroy announced the creation of It’s got the best players. [Scottie Scheffler](https://golf.com/news/scottie-scheffler-hurt-awkward-spot-describes-it/) in the first seven holes to tie for the lead during Sunday’s Tour Championship final round, but had made bogey on 14 after a perfect tee shot. His approach came up short, coming to rest nestled in the Bermuda rough. But, you know, I went up against the best player in the world today and I took him down, and that’s got to mean something.” I got a little lucky with Scottie not playing his best golf today, and I took advantage of that with my good play.
