2026 TOUR Championship Fantasy Golf Final Grades
Scottie Scheffler delivered the board's defining result by converting the No. 1 ranking into a three-stroke victory. Hovland finished second from No. 13, and six original Top 15 selections finished among the final top 10.
The depth board produced both major successes and costly misses. Gerard surged from No. 22 to third, while Bridgeman, Min Woo Lee and Alex Fitzpatrick all shared fourth. Woodland, MacIntyre and Spaun produced the lowest grades.
Every original position is preserved below with its completed score, final finish and public grade.
