The 2026 Tour Championship is going right down to the wire on a tense and dramatic Sunday at East Lake Golf Club.

Viktor Hovland began the final round leading by one stroke but the inscrutable Scottie Scheffler has roared back to make himself a factor once again.

Beside the Ryder Cup rivals, a number of other world-class pros are lining up right behind to try and push them all the way.

Whoever wins will claim the FedExCup and claim the right to call themself the PGA Tour's best golfer this season. They will also collect a $10 million check.

SCJEFFLER TROUBLE AT 18TH

Scottie Scheffler's tee shot at the 18th finds the long rough to the right of the fairway, and then for good measure, buries itself deeper in the mire as a final act. That doesn't look pretty.

He does well though, getting out of the mess and back on the fairway.

HOVLAND OUT OF LUCK!

Scheffler faces a tricky par putt at the 17th. He makes no mistake though and shuts the door on Hovland a little further than ever.

Moments later, Hovland has a birdie chance. He has to hole this really - and it somehow grazes the left edge to miss. So unlucky.

ALL DONE, RORY

Rory McIlroy finishes with a birdie for 11 under. The three-time FedExCup winner never quite got himself into contention in the final round,

PAR FOR HOVLAND

Hovland fails to make a birdie at the 15th, but he gets his par to remain in it. He's on 14 under, two behind Scheffler.

GERARD BATTLING ON

Ryan Gerard judges a double breaker beautifully at the 15th to make a birdie and move to 13 under, three back.

TWO-SHOT LEAD FOR SCOTTIE

Scottie Scheffler moves two clear at 16 with a birdie. It's starting to look a little inevitable...

A BEAUTY FROM VIKTOR!

Viktor Hovland, with a 6-iron, prepares to face the island green. Much hinges on his next swing.

It's beautiful! He'll have about a 10-footer for birdie.

ISLAND GREEN

The last thing Hovland needs after struggling with his swing in recent holes is an island green. But that's what he has to contend with at the 15th.

Before that, Scheffler gets out of a fairway bunker at the 16th to leave a solid birdie chance.

CRUNCH TIME

Viktor Hovland hasn't hit a fairway on the back nine, and that continues at the 14th where he finds the rough again. His second fails to make it to the green. This look like a crucial moment for his chances.

He steps up to the task, sending his third to within five feet. In it goes and that's a brilliant par.

LUCKY BREAK

At the island green 15th, Chris Gotterup senses his chance has gone, convinced he's found the water. By some minor miracle, though, he finds the fringe of the green and he lives to fight another day.

Next, Scheffler shows him how it's done. On a perfect line his ball rolls within realistic birdie opportunity range.

BRUTAL!

Hovland walks after his par putt at the 13th, and it looks for all the world that he has good reason to, but a lip out leaves him with a bogey and Scheffler leads again.

BOGEY FOR SCHEFFLER

Scottie Scheffler's one-shot advantage doesn't last long with a bogey at the 14th dropping him back to 15 under and a tie for the lead with Hovland.

But Hovland is in some bother at the 12th, particularly with a poor effort from a greenside bunker...

CLOSE, BUT NOT ENOUGH

An opportunity for Chris Gotterup at the 14th to get within two misses by a whisker. It doesn't quite have the momentum and goes narrowly, narrowly right leaving him frustration.

TROUBLE FOR HOVLAND

Viktor Hovland is in the right rough with his tee shot at the 13th. Oh dear. He finds the front greenside bunker with the approach and that's not idea.

BIRDIES AT A PREMIUM

Another birdie opportunity for Hovland goes awry at the 12th, breaking right and never looking like finding the hole. Hovland remains with just one birdie today, at the eighth.

SCHEFFLER SEIZES THE INITIATIVE!

A poor second shot costs Adam Scott at the 12th and he makes a bogey.

Now Sheffler one hole further on for the solo lead - its a foor-footer, and it's right in the middle. He leads by one.

SCOTTIE PRESSURE

Another birdie chance goes begging for Hovland at the 11th. In fairness, he was some way out, at 39 feet, so it's hardly a surprise to see it come up short.

A minute or two later, Scheffler sends a wedge shot to within four feet at the 13th and he'll have a great chance of the solo lead.

TOMMY COMPLETES ROUND OF 67

A more subdued week for Tommy Fleetwood than a year ago finishes with a par as he finishes with a 67 on nine under.

At the time, people speculated whether his maiden PGA Tour win would open the floodgates. It hasn't quite happened, but it's been another solid season on the circuit for the Englishman.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

GOTTERUP ON THE MOVE

A chip-in birdie for Chris Gotterup at the 12th moves him within two. Soon after, Scheffler has a chance of the solo lead at the same hole, but it stops short.

WELL DONE, ALEX!

What an incredible first few months for Alex Fitzpatrick. After earning his card when he won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in a team with brotehr Matt, he wraps up with a par to head to the clubhouse in T7.

NOT QUITE, VIKTOR

Viktor Hovland, who won the FedExCup in 2023, senses a chance for the solo lead at the 10th with a long birdie putt. The speed is good, but the line isn't, and it breaks right.

AS IT STANDS...

Currently, there's nothing in it between Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler, with both on 15 under. Adam Scott is the next on the leaderboard on 13 under, with Russell Henley, Chris Gotterup and Ryan Gerard still in the mix on 12 under.

Last year's winner, Tommy Fleetwood, is on the 18th. Its not going to be his year - he's on nine under.

WELCOME
