Scottie Scheffler celebrates FedEx Cup title with a rare beer, offers warm praise for Brandel Chamblee
Scottie Scheffler celebrated winning the Tour Championship and clinching the FedEx Cup on Sunday with a rare beer in the clubhouse, marking a relaxed, unguarded moment for the world number one after a season of dominance. During his post-round media appearances, Scheffler also paid tribute to Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee, praising the depth of research and notes Chamblee prepares each week, offering a glimpse of the golfer's more laid-back side that fans rarely see.
The victory was Scheffler's third of the year and earned him a $10 million cheque, capping a campaign of three wins and five runner-up finishes worth $31 million before bonuses. He told reporters he rarely drinks but felt the win, plus the season's end, warranted the celebratory beer, before heading to Golf Channel's post-game show, where he highlighted Chamblee's notes to viewers. Scheffler has now held the world number one ranking for 207 consecutive weeks.
