=INDEX(A1:J1,MATCH(MAX(A2:J2),A2:J2,0))

adapt to fit your data

if there are more than one MAX value the first occurrence will be returned

Select the names.
Format with Conditional Formatting.
Formula is =A2=MAX(A$2:F$2)
(Assuming scores in A2:F2)
Format as Bold (or whatever you please).

The name(s) of the top scorer(s) will appear in bold.
