Tour Championship History

The Tour Championship has been a significant part of the PGA Tour’s schedule for many years, but its role was elevated in 2007 when it became the culminating event of the newly formed FedEx Cup Playoffs. This innovative playoff system was designed to create a more exciting and dramatic finish to the season, with the top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings competing for the Tour Championship.

The Tour♏ Championship serves as the final event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, with the top 30 players in the standings qual🌳ifying. The tournament features a unique scoring system, where the player at the top of the standings starts at 10 under par, while the others start at varying under-par scores based on their ranking. This format creates a compelling chase, as players strive to catch the leader and ultimately claim the FedEx Cup title and the substantial bonus prize.

Since its inception as part of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the Tour Championship has consistently delivered thrilling finishes and memorable moments. The unique scoring system, combined with the pressure of the final event of the season, often leads to dramatic comebacks and intense competition. The tournament’s prestige and the significant financial rewards associated with winning have made it a highly coveted event for the world’s top golfers.

However, the likes of Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, and Hideki Matsuyama, all of whom have shown impressive form throughout the season, will be eager to challenge Scheffler’s dominance.

The Tour Championship is known for producing dramatic finishes, and with just the best 30 golfers left, anything can happen. Golf fans can expect a thrilling week of competition as the players battle it out for the FedEx Cup championship and the $18 million bonus.

With a complete teardown and redesign, it’s going to be tough to say exactly how East Lake will play this week, but it’s more than likely the brand-new greens will be rock hard and difficult to hold from the Bermuda rough.  I’m putting a high premium on any metric that incorporates accuracy off the tee for that reason and like Henley as a guy who could spike a really low 72-hole score (and still not win, it’s tough when you start 8 strokes off the lead). – Andy Molitor
