Overview
- Fleetwood closed with a 2-under 68 at East Lake to finish 18-under, winning by three over Patrick Cantlay and Russell Henley.
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler’s opening tee shot out of bounds and a tee ball into the water at the par-3 15th derailed his repeat bid; he tied for fourth with Cameron Young and Corey Conners.
- The 2025 Tour Championship used a new winner-take-all format with all players starting at even par, and reporting noted the prior starting-strokes system would have produced a Scheffler victory.
- Fleetwood’s win secured his automatic place on Team Europe for next month’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
- U.S. captain Keegan Bradley will announce six Ryder Cup picks on Wednesday and says choosing himself as a playing captain remains a possibility.
