He had just closed with a 4-under 66 in the Tour Championship on Sunday – no one else from the leading six players broke par – and Scheffler had to wait for the last two groups to finish to create it official.
"There was an open bar inside and I'm like, 'All right, I'm grabbing a beer.' It tasted great, " Scheffler remarked. "I don't really drink often. My wife and manager were like, 'Wow, I haven't seen you have a beer in a long time.' Well, season's over now. I'm going to have a beer. Well-earned beer."
There was no arguing that, and there's no longer a debate over who had the best season in golf.
Scheffler took care of that at East Lake when he created up a three-shot deficit in four holes and pulled away to win the Tour Championship, claim a second FedEx Cup title and move past Tiger Woods for most PGA Tour earnings.
