2026 Tour Championship Begins at East Lake Golf Club
The 2026 PGA Tour postseason concludes this weekend at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where the top 30 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings will compete for the Tour Championship title. The tournament starts on Thursday, with players vying for the championship over 72 holes without staggered starting strokes.
All participants, from Scottie Scheffler to Ryan Fox, will begin on equal footing. Last year's champion, Tommy Fleetwood, won his first PGA Tour title under this format, and several players are looking to achieve their first victory of the season, including Ludvig Åberg and Xander Schauffele.
Wyndham Clark, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Chris Gotterup, who have each secured three wins this season, aim to break their tie for the most victories. The first round features notable pairings, including Rory McIlroy with Schauffele at 12:54 p.m. and Fleetwood with Åberg at 1:12 p.m., while Scheffler and Fitzpatrick will tee off last at 2 p.m.
