Jordan Spieth has just won $10m after claiming the Tour Championship

Spieth is also back to number one in the world.

JORDAN SPIETH CAPPED an epic season with by winning the Tour Championship this evening, sending him back to number one in the world and earning him the $10 million FedEx Cup playoff bonus.

The 22-year-old Texan, whose five wins this season included the Masters and US Open, fired a final round 69 for 271 and a four-shot win over Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, New Zealand’s Danny Lee and England’s Justin Rose.

With the win — and Jason Day’s 10th-place finish — Spieth will recapture the number one ranking Day had held for a week.

The huge $10m bonus of the FedEx Cup also brings Spieth’s single-season prize money to a staggering $22m.

Rory McIlroy had a disastrous final day in Atlanta, shooting a four over par round of 74 to fall back to a tie for 16th on one over.
