The 2022-23 PGA TOUR season has reached the finale. East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, will host the TOUR Championship with the best players from this season all competing for the PGA TOUR’s ultimate prize. This will be a no-cut event, with the top 30 players beginning on their FedExCup Starting Strokes based on where they are in the FedExCup standings. Scottie Scheffler leads the field at 10-under par this week. He’ll look for redemption after playing the last five holes in 1-over par last week, as Viktor Hovland captured the BMW Championship. Scheffler has been the most consistent player on TOUR this season with 15 top-10 finishes and knows how to deliver on the big stage. Rory McIlroy starts at 7-under this week and will be looking to become the first player to win four FedExCups and the first to defend a FedExCup title. He played well for a T-4 finish last week at the BMW Championship and has three top-10 finishes alongside his three titles at East Lake. Others to look out for are Jon Rahm (6-under), Patrick Cantlay (4-under) and Max Homa (4-under).

  1. $1k a birdie 😂 What a cheapskate – $9k donation from a millionaire! Probably $7k actually, wouldn’t have counted the eagle.

  2. they've gotta be setting these courses up easier. Way too many super low scores lately. I know "these guys are good" but……

  3. Morikawa was good. Scheffler better. Did you mean Scheffler shot 12 under in one round? That would be a course record

  4. The "Full Swing" Netflix series made Morikawa look like a giant cry baby diva. Totally change the way i look at him.

  5. Idiotic handicapping for professionals, all 30 players should be even and no handicapping, ridiculous!

  6. It’s funny that people would be shocked by this , Colin is one of the worst putters on tour period , if he can sink more putts like in this round he would have a chance of winning every week e
