Indian-American golfer Sahith Theegala secured third place in the FedExCup with an impressive 21-under for four rounds. His performance earned him $7.5 million. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler claimed the $25 million top prize, making his 2024 season the most successful in almost two decades.

Indian-American golfer Sahith Theegala clinched $7.5 million with a third-place finish in the FedExCup, completing four rounds at 21-under at the TOUR Championships.

Theegala's self-imposed two-shot penalty on Saturday for a minor bunker infraction did not deter him. Starting at 3-under, his rounds of 67-66-66-64 led to a 72-hole total of 263, second only to American Collin Morikawa's 24-under.

Scottie Scheffler emerged victorious in the TOUR Championships with a 4-under 67, capturing the FedExCup and its $25 million prize, the richest in golf. His remarkable season features eight wins, paralleling Tiger Woods' 2006 achievements.
