The richest payday in PGA Tour history has arrived. With $58 million for a 30-way split, 29 golfers (not including the injured Will Xalatores) will battle it out for the $18 million first prize in East Lake over the last 18 holes of the 2022 Tour Championship. Second place ($6.5 million) and third place ($5 million) aren’t too bad either, but the top of the leaderboard only looks at one place.
The big question on Sunday is whether Scotty Scheffler, who entered East Lake by two strokes and saw him swell to just five to lead by one at the end of Saturday’s game, can hold onto his advantage now that the third round is complete. Schaeffler (-23) hit Birdie on four of his last six holes in the third round Sunday morning to push his lead to six on the entire court. Behind him, Xander Shaveli and Rory McIlroy (-17) tied for second to enter the final. McIlroy managed to get three of the last six holes in the third round to score 63, one shot from the lowest score of the week, while Shaveli went without a birdie on his back nine, scoring two goals for 70 for a dip and press. off the Scheffler.
