Rory McIlroy has won the FedEx Cup a record three times, in 2016, 2019 and 2022. Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler are tied for second with two titles each. Scheffler is the latest champion after winning the 2026 TOUR Championship at East Lake.

The table below lists every champion since the PGA Tour introduced the season-long competition in 2007. It also separates the winners record from the format, which has changed several times.

The list now contains 16 different champions across 20 editions. Our FedEx Cup playoffs format guide explains how players reached the final event in 2026 and why the standings reset before the last 72 holes.

Who has won the most FedEx Cups?

McIlroy leads with three titles, while Woods and Scheffler have two each. They are the only multiple winners through 2026.

McIlroy’s wins came three years apart each time and crossed two versions of the postseason. Scheffler joined the multiple-winner group by taking two of the three 2026 playoff events, including the TOUR Championship. For their records in the sport’s four biggest championships, see the most major wins in golf.

Who won the 2026 FedEx Cup?

Scottie Scheffler won the 2026 title with a 16-under total of 264 at East Lake. He closed with a 66 and beat Viktor Hovland by three strokes.

The victory was Scheffler’s second FedEx Cup after 2024 and his 22nd PGA Tour title. Because the final 30 started level, his actual four-round score determined both the tournament and the season championship. His $10 million winner’s share counted as official prize money on the PGA Tour career money list.

Has anyone won in consecutive years?

No player won consecutive FedEx Cups during the competition’s first 20 editions. McIlroy won in 2016, 2019 and 2022; Woods won in 2007 and 2009; Scheffler won in 2024 and 2026.

That pattern shows how difficult it is to repeat even for players who remain near the top of the standings. The playoff format can reward a full season, one decisive late run, or both, depending on the rules used in that era.

Could two players win the TOUR Championship and the Cup?

Yes under some earlier formats, but not from 2019 through 2026. In 2009, for example, Phil Mickelson won the TOUR Championship while Tiger Woods won the FedEx Cup on points.

The starting-strokes system used from 2019 through 2024 forced the two titles to share one winner. Starting in 2025, all 30 finalists began at even par, but the lowest 72-hole score still won both the tournament and the Cup. This distinction will matter again in 2028, when the PGA Tour plans to separate its season-long points winner from a match-play TOUR Champion.

How much did the 2026 champion earn?

Scheffler received $10 million from the TOUR Championship’s $40 million purse. The payout was official tournament money rather than the old headline FedEx Cup bonus attached directly to the winner.

The PGA Tour also distributed nearly $100 million in FedEx Cup bonus money after the BMW Championship to the top 125 in the standings. Those payments are separate from the final tournament purse, so they should not be added together and described as one winner’s prize.
