2011: Capped off a career-best season by winning the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola and the FedExCup. Making his first start in Kapalua, finished eighth to kick off the season at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Defending champion closed with rounds of 62-66 to join a three-way playoff at the Bob Hope Classic. With the opportunity to hold the clubhouse lead, three-putted the 90th hole of regulation from 35 feet for a par-5 at the Palmer Private Course at PGA West. Recorded a par-5 on the first playoff hole, while eventual winner Jhonattan Vegas and Gary Woodland recorded birdies. Has enjoyed 20 consecutive rounds in the 60s at the Palm Springs-area event. One week later, held a share of the 54-hole lead with Phil Mickelson at the Farmers Insurance Open after opening 67-66-71. Bogeyed two of the first four holes in the final round, closing with a 75 to finish T9. One of a PGA TOUR-record nine players tied for the lead at 4-under after the first round of the Northern Trust Open. Went on to finish T12. After holding a two-shot, first-round lead, he finished solo fourth in his eighth start at the Wells Fargo Championship. It is his second fourth-place finish at Quail Hollow (T4 in 2006). His 8-under 64 in Charlotte is his best opening score on TOUR since the 2009 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, where he posted a career-low, 8-under 62. Opened with rounds of 67-67 en route to a T8 at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. It was his career-high fifth top-10 finish of the season. Sixth top 10 came at The Greenbrier Classic, where he and Bob Estes fell to Scott Stallings on the first extra hole for his second playoff loss of the season (Bob Hope Classic). It was the third runner-up finish of his TOUR career. In a winner-take-all playoff, he parred the third playoff hole (par-3 18th hole) to defeat Hunter Mahan to win the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola and the FedExCup, winning the latter by 15 points over Webb Simpson and becoming the first player in his 20s to win the season-long competition. Entered the final round three strokes behind Aaron Baddeley and Mahan but carded a final-round 68 to finish regulation tied with Mahan at 8-under 272. In the playoff, he appeared to have shot himself out of winning both on the second playoff hole, the 17th hole at East Lake GC, when his approach to the par 4 landed in the water adjacent to the green. He made a great up and down for par to continue the playoff. As a result of his win, pocketed the $1,440,000 first-place check and the $10-million prize for winning the FedExCup. Became just the third player to win the TOUR Championship in his first appearance, joining Chad Campbell (2003) and Bart Bryant (2005).

Kuchar and Clark had both missed birdie putts at the Arnold Palmer Private Course, with Kuchar three-putting from the back fringe of the green and Clark missing a birdie putt after laying up. Haas dropped a 3-iron behind the hole, allowing him to two-putt his way to a 30-under 330 finish. He watched as fellow competitor Watson nearly chipped in for eagle before his two-putt finish. In first career World Golf Championships start at the CA Championship, finished T6. Finished T31 in the final FedExCup standings to miss by seven points qualifying for his first trip to the TOUR Championship.

Allen caught him on the 12th hole at 14-under. Rallied by birdieing the 13th hole while Allen was recording a double bogey, a turnaround that provided him with a three-shot lead.
