History and a whole lot of money will be on the line this week at East Lake.

Meanwhile, BMW Championship winner Patrick Cantlay was attempting to replicate last season's run to the FedEx Cup title where he collected $15 million for his troubles.

Scottie Scheffler birdied four of his six holes Sunday morning when finishing his third round at the Tour Championship at East Lake.

He’s 17 under since being 4 over through his first four holes on Thursday, and would be tied for the lead with Scheffler through 54 holes without the starting strokes. “He and Rory both like to come from behind. Rory McIlroy birdied each of his two remaining holes on Sunday morning to complete a round of 7-under 63, his low score in 35 rounds at East Lake, to tie Schauffele at 17 under. “The significance of what it means to him was evident yesterday. He looked lethargic to me, he wasn’t his normal self. His lead was down to a single stroke.

The richest payday in PGA Tour history has arrived. With $58 million to be split up 30 ways, 29 golfers (not including the injured Will Zalatoris) will ...

With the fourth round beginning in Atlanta, let's take a look at the key tee times for the top of the leaderboard. Second ($6.5 million) and third ($5 million) place aren't too bad either, but the top of the leaderboard is only looking at one spot. The big question Sunday is whether Scottie Scheffler, who entered East Lake with a two-stroke lead and saw it balloon to five only to lead by one at the end of play Saturday, can hold on to his advantage now that the third round is complete.

2022 Tour Championship leaderboard, winner: Rory McIlroy comes ... (CBSSports.com)

One could not discuss the future of the PGA Tour this season without Rory McIlroy's name being on their lips. On Sunday at the 2022 Tour Championship, ...

Beginning the week in the second position at 8 under, the Californian was a mainstay on the first page of the leaderboard despite some struggles on the greens. The self-belief king should only continue this trajectory heading into next year as he has added two victories, a top-five finish at the Tour Championship and (more than likely) an appearance for the United States in the Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow -- the site of his first PGA Tour win -- to his playing résumé. One of only four players to not break par in the third round, Schauffele wasn't able to keep up with his playing competitor, Scheffler, and eventually the rest of the field. Playing his final 56 holes in 18 under, Homa was able to climb from the depths of the leaderboard and into a seven-figure paycheck. He had gotten within one stroke of the lead on multiple occasions, but it was a double bogey on the par-4 14th that ultimately took his name out of FedEx Cup contention. That was a spectacle out there today -- two of the best players in the world going head-to-head for the biggest prize on the PGA Tour -- and I hope everyone at home enjoyed that." The adopted son of Atlanta, Im was casually going about his business and tried his damnedest to recover from a major blunder on his back nine Sunday. While the bounces went the way of the 26-year-old at the year's first major championship (and for much of the year), on Sunday, the golf gods willed the man from Northern Ireland to victory, making amends for a season that featured four top-10 finishes in the major championships including a heartbreaker (in The Open Championship at St. With a win, Scheffler would have secured the richest season in the history of the PGA Tour and only the fifth five-win season of the last decade, joining Tiger Woods, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas. Starting the week with a two-stroke lead, building it to as many as seven and beginning the final round with a six-stroke edge, Scheffler simply let the FedEx Cup slip through his fingers. However, it was the third-round back nine that he concluded early Sunday that made him a true contender as Rory birdied three of his last six holes to card a 63 and claim his spot alongside Scheffler in the final pairing as he put pressure on the 54-hole leader despite a six-stroke deficit. McIlroy later mentioned the "battle of Georgia" between the two titans of the game as Scheffler got the better of McIlroy at the 2022 Masters at Augusta National in April.

McIlroy won the FedEx Cup in 2016 in a playoff. And at the end, the tour's biggest voice had its biggest trophy. Most of that fell to Scheffler, who looked like different players when he returned Sunday morning and after a two-hour break before the final round. Scheffler badly misread a 10-foot birdie chance on the 17th to tie, sending the Tour Championship to the final hole with $18 million on the line. I believe in the players on this tour," McIlroy said in the trophy presentation. Scheffler fought back, showing amazing grit without the game to go with it. He won the FedEx Cup again in 2019, the first year of a staggered start. McIlroy holed a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-3 15th hole to tie for the lead. "I've had a really great year and I wanted to finish it off with a win here, and unfortunately I wasn't able to do that." Scheffler was hoping to cap off the best year in golf with the FedEx Cup title. The last one to do that was Dustin Johnson in 2017 at the HSBC Champions. 1 seed, who began with a two-shot lead and never trailed until the 70th hole.

Maybe that doesn't matter when it comes to the world of sports, but conversely, maybe it's the only thing that matters. "Scottie Scheffler is going to win the Player of the Year," said McIlroy. He told Scheffler after their duel that they're now even in the state of Georgia this year. It was the second-best statistical season of his career, according to Data Golf. 1 in the world. The viral video of Scheffler's father and wife hugging McIlroy -- in the wake of their guy kicking away $11.5 million and a fifth win on national television -- is grace personified. I play to win tournaments, and I play to have fun and do my best and see where the game can take me. He didn't have his best stuff today, and I played well and took advantage of that. I put myself in position to win this tournament when I wasn't playing my best today, and so I'm proud of how I fought." Despite Tiger's landmark win and Europe's rout in the Ryder Cup a week later, it undoubtedly left a bitter taste in Rory's mouth. The following year, though, he played some of the best golf of his entire life. It must be a strange experience to win nearly $6 million after playing four days of golf and walk away feeling nothing but disappointment.
