Now, history has been created in the world of Golf. Rory McIlroy won the Tour Championship on Sunday for the second time in four years -- and he's taking home the largest cash payout in golf history.

McIlroy surged past Brooks Koepka to win the FedEx Cup and its $15 million prize, at East Lake in Atlanta. He wanted to win this outright and was keeping score until the very end. The format was changed this year to give top players a head start based on par depending on their standing in the FedEx Cup. Justin Thomas was the No. 1 seed and started at 10-under par before a shot was hit. McIlroy was the No. 5 seed and started at 5 under.

“To play like that alongside Brooks and get the win, win the FedExCup, yeah, it’s awesome. It’s amazing how different things can be in a year.”
