Scottie Scheffler is a FedEx Cup Champion.

After dominating the field all year long, the 28-year-old etched his name into the history books on Sunday afternoon by winning the TOUR Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.

Entering the tournament, since he led all golfers in FedEx Cup points, Scheffler began the tournament at -10 and ahead by two strokes, and it was plenty of room for a head start.

Taking out starting strokes, Scheffler's -20 was actually the third-lowest score to par on the weekend: Collin Morikawa was -22, while Sahith Theegala was -21.

Scheffler had won the most prize money in each of the last two seasons, so big things were expected this year. But, even Scheffler would probably tell you this was beyond his imagination.

He kicked off his season with four top-10s in his first five tournaments, but then, he kicked into extra gear.

His next five tournaments: win, win, T2, win, win. Those victories included the Arnold Palmer Invitational, The PLAYERS, the RBC Heritage, and, of course, the Masters.

His season took a wild turn in May, though, when he was arrested while headed to his second round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla. He spent time in a jail cell before casually shooting a 66 later in the day – he ultimately finished T8 in the tournament.
