While the PGA Tour injected some life into future iterations of the Tour Championship by announcing a revamped match play format starting in 2028, there is still a FedEx Cup and some massive paydays on the line this week at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The top 30 golfers this season will battle one last time across 72 holes, all starting on an even playing field for the second straight year.
Will Rory McIlroy emerge as the first to win the FedEx Cup four times? Could Tommy Fleetwood conclude another winless regular season with his second straight trip to the winner’s circle at East Lake? Might Scottie Scheffler win for the second time in three weeks and potentially clinch PGA Tour Player of the Year honors coming off a bout of hand, foot and mouth disease? Is Matt Fitzpatrick, Chris Gotterup or Wyndham Clark primed to win their fourth event of the season? Plenty is up for grabs with nothing certain as play begins.
