Scheffler had the most dominant season of his career from a FedExCup points standpoint, his victory last week at the BMW Championship pushing him to 7,456 points, more than double that of second-ranked Rory McIlroy, who accumulated 3,687 points.

Scottie Scheffler says he prefers the format at this year's Tour Championship over last season's event, where he started with a 2-shot advantage.

Scheffler erased a big deficit early, took the reins at the halfway point, held on like hell and delivered an exclamation mark at the end, capturing the BMW Championship for his fifth win of the season.
