McIlroy walks away with £12,2m

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy won the 2019 PGA Tour Championship on Sunday, and walked away with the $15m first-place prize money.

The victory handed the world No. 2 the FedEx Cup title and he became only the second person behind Tiger Woods to win the Tour Championship title twice.

McIlroy shot a 66 in the final round, finishing 18-under-par, four shots clear of second-placed Xander Schauffele, who finished 14-under-par, pocketing a $5 million prize for second place.

And the fact that McIlroy has achieved something only Woods has done is a sign he’s on the right track. “Any time you can do something and Tiger’s the only other guy to do it, you know you’re doing something well,” McIlroy told CNN.

McIlroy’s victory at East Lake, Atlanta, was made even more remarkable following the rule changes introduced for the 2019 edition of the Tour Championship. — CNN.
