The richest payday in PGA Tour history has arrived. With $58 million to be split 30 ways, 29 golfers (not including the injured Will Zalatoris) will battle for the $18 million first prize at East Lake over the final 18 holes of the 2022 Tour Championship. The second (6.5 million dollars) and third ($5 million) aren’t too bad either, but the top of the rankings is only looking at one place.
The big question Sunday is whether Scottie Scheffler, who entered East Lake with a two-run lead and saw it grow to five only to go ahead by one late in the game Saturday, can hold on to his lead now that the third round has ended. . Scheffler (-23) birdied four of his last six third-round holes Sunday morning to extend his lead over the field to six. Behind him, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy (-17) are tied for second entering the final round. McIlroy birdied three of his last six holes of the third round to post a 63, his lowest shot of the week, while Schauffele was birdied on the back nine, posting a 2-for-70 to slide back and take the pressure. outside of Scheffler.
