With just 18 holes of the 2024 Tour Championship remaining, it’s Scottie Scheffler who leads on 26-under-par – five strokes clear of fellow countryman, Collin Morikawa.
Because of the format of the Tour Championship, Scheffler began the tournament at 10-under, two ahead of Xander Schauffele. And, through 54 holes, it’s Scheffler who is on course to finish his excellent 2024 season strongly and claim the $25 million first prize.
While Shane Lowry and Viktor Hovland carded the low rounds of the day on Saturday via a 65, Scheffler and Sahith Theegala managed the next best tally. That helped Scheffler build his lead from Morikawa as the other US Olympian carded a 67 to sit on 21-under while Theegala is back on 17-under.
While the race for the title is barely even a two-horse event, much of the chasing pack will be hoping to grab the $7.5 million check for finishing third, with $6 million handed out to fourth and $5 million to fifth. As it stands, Theegala is the man they’re all trying to overhaul as Xander Schauffele starts fourth and Wyndham Clark in a tie for fifth alongside Adam Scott.
The Open Champion stumbled his way to a level-par round of 71 on Saturday while Clark and Scott both fired 68.

Rory McIlroy is back in a share of 10th after beginning the tournament at East Lake on four-under and carding consistent rounds of 69, 69, and 68 so far.
