It\u2019s the little things sometimes.<\/p>\n

After winning the $10 million Tour Championship to close the PGA Tour season, Scottie Scheffler revealed that he wasn\u2019t exactly going to jump into a gold coin-filled pool after the accomplishment. <\/p>\n

\u201cGosh, I don\u2019t know. Probably a cheeseburger. I\u2019m a big cheeseburger guy. Cheeseburger, fries\u2026 maybe a milkshake if they got one hiding back there,\u201d Scheffler told reporters when asked what the first thing he\u2019d be doing after winning the massive purse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scheffler then said that he doesn\u2019t drink much but was craving a beer after shooting 16-under par at East Lake to defeat Viktor Hovland, who ended the tournament three shots behind.<\/p>\n

Scheffler started the day trailing by three but started his comeback with a near-ace on the second hole.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a beer for the first time in a long time. It just sounded good. Right when we got off the course, I went in there, you know, these guys are trying to get me to do media and all this stuff. And I was like, \u2018Well, how much time do I really have?\u201d Scheffler said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018We got a couple minutes.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018All right, let me just go inside so I can get some air conditioning.\u2019 And then there was an open bar right there. And I was like, \u2018All right, I\u2019m grabbing a beer.\u2019 It tasted great.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Scheffler can now retreat with his wife, Meredith, after winning three times on the PGA Tour this season to boost his career win total to 22.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a behind-the-scenes moment, Scheffler pointed to the camera and put his hat over the lens so he could relax in peace with his wife and two young sons, Bennett and Remy. <\/p>\n

The world\u2019s No. 1 player added that his wife was surprised that he went with a victory beer.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it\u2019s fun. I don\u2019t really drink very often. My wife and my manager were like, \u2018Wow, I haven\u2019t seen you have a beer in a long time.\u2019 And it\u2019s like, \u2018Yeah, well, season\u2019s over now. I\u2019m going to have a beer. Well-earned beer,\u2019\u201d Scheffler said. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Scheffler, 30, is now the all-time leader in total dollars won on the PGA Tour, having surpassed Tiger Woods with the win on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Scheffler has now earned $130.4 million on the tour, edging out Woods at $121.1 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also won the FedEx St. Jude Championship for $3.6 million to open the three-week playoffs earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Scheffler now has a three weeks off before the Presidents Cup at Medinah on Sept. 22, which pits the Americans against the International team.<\/p>\n
