Viktor Hovland wins Tour Championship, sets PGA Tour earnings record

Viktor Hovland had a gameplan Sunday.

“Play as boring as possible — play it like Tiger back in the day when he would post a 69 or 70 in a major championship and walk away with the victory,” Hovland said.

He walked away with the victory like Tiger back in the day, but it sure wasn't boring.

The former Cowboy golfer finished at 27-under over the weekend and closed with a 7-under 63 on Sunday at the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, winning by five strokes.

And it came with an $18 million payout and the FedEx Cup trophy.
