It was a great week for English players on tour plus Scottie Scheffler cemented his best player in the world credentials by winning the FedExCup
Here's a look back on what happened on tour last week. We'll be sharing the winners, shots and moments of the week.
Winner's circle - week ending 1st September
Here's who won:
LPGA Tour - From St Andrews to Boston for the inaugural FM Championship which boasted on of the largest prize funds outside the Majors and season ending CME Group Tour Championship.
Heading into the third round Haeran Ryu had a six shot lead but a disappointing 78 dropped her back down the field. A chat with her coach before the final round paid dividends, as she was able to shoot an incredible 64 to force a play-off against former World Number one Jin Young Ko. Ryu, who was Rookie of the Year last year, managed to make a par on the first play-off hole which was enough for her to claim her second LPGA title

The LPGA now has a week off before the Solheim Cup at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainsville, Virginia.
LET - The Irish crowds were out in force for the KPMG Women's Irish Open. This year the tournament moved closer to Dublin, being played at Carton House.
The week turned into a fairytale ending for England's Annabel Dimmock, who only eight months after thumb surgery claimed her second LET victory, adding to the first that she won five years ago. Her victory coincided with a documentary from the LET and adidas, showing her comeback from injury.
Taking a two shot lead into the final round, it was a tough battle for Dimmock who ended up in a play-off with France's Pauline Roussin-Bouchard. In the end, it took two holes to decide the winner, with Dimmock clearly very emotional as she won in front of the enthusiastic crowd.

The LET also has a week off before the Solheim Cup at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainsville.
LET Access Series - Another inaugural event and another English winner. This time it was the Get Golfing Women's Golf Championship and the winner was Megan Dennis.
It was a shaky start for the Woburn based golfer, who carded a bogey and a double bogey before any birdie dropped.
Two consecutive birdies on holes six and seven got the 25-year-old back in the game.
After another bogey on the par-four eighth hole, Dennis fired up the flatstick on the back nine to sink three birdies on holes 11 and 13 before a fabulous 33 feet putt on the 17th to give her a two-shot leading heading into the final hole.
“I’m shocked. I had no idea where I was standing until I got my first ball on the 18th green.
“I said to my caddie- should I know? Do I want to know? I asked him and he said I had a two-shot lead. So, I knew I just had to two putt the last.
“I’m so excited. I can’t believe that I managed to string together a good round on the final day.”

LETAS now moves down the road to Brocket Hall for the hotly anticipated Rose Ladies Open, starting on the 6th September.
Epson Tour - Yahui Zhang breaks through to capture first professional win
Persistence is the word to describe Epson Tour rookie and the newest champion, Yahui Zhang. The 18-year-old had seen six top-10 finishes before the Four Winds Invitational and was in contention to earn her first win multiple times since her first start in April. All of those moments, including her play-off loss to Savannah Vilaubi at the Otter Creek Championship, led to this moment when she could drop her head in relief instead of disappointment, finally finding herself in the winner's circle in South Bend.
"I'm so excited. The only thing I want to do is cry," said Zhang. "After I putted in the three-yard putt, the only thing I wanted to do was cry."
The People's Republic of China native was celebrated greenside by her mom and dad, who also doubles as her caddie. Now the Race for the Card leader, Zhang is one step closer to officially calling herself an LPGA Tour member and hopes to hang on to the top spot and earn both Player of the Year and Gaelle Truett Rookie of the Year honors.
"Being 19 years old and getting to the LPGA is a big thing in our family," Zhang added.
With only four tournaments remaining, it's coming down to the wire to secure a place in the coveted top 15 and earn LPGA Tour status for 2025, making every point crucial.
The Epson Tour now heads to Capitol Hill Golf Club and the Guardian Championship.
Men's professional tour results
PGA Tour - It was the final week of the regular tour season and the culmination of the FedExCup. Starting with a two shot advantage over the rest of the field, Scottie Scheffler, the World Number one, never relinquished his top spot for a wire-to-wire victory at the Tour Championship, cementing his dominance across the PGA Tour season.
This victory was the American's seventh PGA Tour win of the season, which included a second Masters green jacket. Don't forget that he also has a Olympic gold medal too!
The 28-year-old finished the week with a four-under-par 67 to top the leaderboard at 30-under-par, four shots clear of Collin Morikawa. This win was also significant as he became the first player since Tiger Woods to win seven times on the PGA Tour in just one season.
“I'm proud of the results,” he said. “It's something I try not to focus too much on, but at the end of the day, being able to win tournaments is a great feeling, and it's what we work towards, and to be able to have as many wins as I have this year is really special.”
DP World - It was a great week for tour events in England and Ireland, with the final and third being the Betfred British Masters taking place at The Belfry.
Niklas Norgaard started the final day four shots ahead of his competitors and although he had a 15th hole to forget, he managed to keep his composure and the hold off his nearest competitor Thriston Lawrence to claim his first DP World Tour title by two shots.
The three duffed chips on 15, which ultimately led to a double bogey, will hopefully be a distant memory for the Dane, who at 32-years-old had been waiting quite some time for his breakthrough win.
He told Sky Sports: "Since I started playing golf when I was 10, this is what I've been dreaming of. The scene here is just something and means the world. I almost threw up this morning - I was just so nervous! I'm very happy with how it ended here."
The DP World Tour now heads to Switzerland and the Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Crans Montana - arguably the most stunning stop on the tour.
Shot of the week
Normally in this section, we celebrate an excellent shot from the week. However, we thought this time we would share something that might make us all feel a bit better about our golf games. It was a toss-up between Niklas Norgaard duffing three chips and Scottie Scheffler hitting a shank, in the end we decided to share both 🫣
We don't feel too bad sharing them, at the end of the day they would both go on to win their respective tournaments!
Moment of the week
The best story of the week was Annabel Dimmock coming back from injury and her disappointment of not qualifying for the AIG Women's Open to win the KPMG Women's Irish Open the following week.
This is how much it meant to her...
With the FedExCup complete and the LET and LPGA on a break ahead of the Solheim Cup, it feels like a relatively calm week ahead. Don't forget that the LETAS moves to Brocket Hall and the Rose Ladies Open - tickets are free and hospitality tickets are also available - find out more via the Rose Ladies Open website.
