Standing next to him at the trophy ceremony was Xander Schauffele, who never imagined being at the Tour Championship, much less winning it. ATLANTA—Justin Thomas is the FedEx Cup champion, a surprise to no one who saw him power his way to scoring records, his first major at the PGA Championship and more PGA Tour victories than anyone this season. Tiger Woods won the FedEx Cup and Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship in 2009. The surprise guest to the party was Schauffele, the first PGA Tour rookie to win the Tour Championship since it began in 1987. Spieth closed with a 67 and tied for seventh, earning a $3 million bonus for finishing second in the FedEx Cup.
