Tournament Roundup - Tour Championship

Hello members,

A weather delay and charging Xander Schauffele couldn’t take down Viktor Hovland today! Viktor shoots 63 to win by five strokes, ending up at 27-under. He started at 8-under so he still played out of this world to take it home. His winner’s share of the FedEx Cup bonus pool is $18m! He’ll receive $17m in cash and $1m in a deferred compensation plan. Combine that with his win last week, and he’s won $21.6m in winnings in the last two weeks. What a great time to get hot.

Xander Schauffele gave it the best he could. He ended up shooting an 8-under 62 to end up at 22-under. There was a moment where Xander was 21-under and had a birdie putt while Viktor was short of the green on the Par 4 14th. If Xander makes the putt and Viktor doesn’t get up and down, there it’s a one shot lead with four holes left. As it was, Xander two-putted and Viktor made a 20+ footer to save Par and keep the three stroke lead. Xander ends up with a $6.5m bonus for his FedEx Cup finish.

That’s a wrap on the 2023 season. It’s been a pleasure providing updates throughout the year, and I hope you’ve gotten some good information from this newsletter. It started as a “hey I would like to know some of these things about the tournament and golf course” to now over 168 posts and over 3,500 impressions, I’m very happy with how this first season went. I plan to continue this during the Ryder Cup, so I’ll see you in four week. Finally, I hope to start fresh again at the start of the 2024 season in Hawaii in January and would appreciate your continued support. Please tell your friends, golfing buddies, weekend foursome, father-in-law, coworkers, and everyone else to subscribe. I have some plans to do a redesign, add a potential sponsor, add even more content each week, and potentially some referral bonuses for you all. I’ll keep you updated.

Cheers, everyone.
