Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy became the first player to win the FedEx Cup three times after a remarkable last day at the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship.

The 33-year-old overturned Scottie Scheffler’s six-shot lead to finish one clear of the American and Sungjae Im.

McIlroy receives $18m (£15.36m) in prize money for his win at East Lake, his fifth title of the season.

McIlroy has been one of the PGA Tour’s most influential presences during golf’s ongoing power struggle, and was one of the leading voices in a meeting held earlier this month by the tour’s top players to discuss the threat of LIV Golf.
