The battle for the 2024 FedEx Cup trophy is coming down to the wire as the Tour Championship approaches. After the BMW Championship, won by Keegan Bradley, only 30 players will make it to East Lake for the finale. Scottie Scheffler, despite a disappointing T33 finish in Colorado, holds a significant lead in the FedEx Cup standings and will start the Tour Championship with a 10-under advantage.
Xander Schauffele will begin the tournament just two shots behind Scheffler, followed by Hideki Matsuyama at seven-under and Bradley at six-under. Ludvig Aberg starts five shots off the leader, with a group of five players starting at four-under, including Rory McIlroy, who accidentally broke his driver in the BMW Championship.
The format of the Tour Championship offers hope to all players, as even the 30th-ranked player starts with only a 10-shot disadvantage. Notable names still in contention for the FedEx Cup title include Viktor Hovland, Billy Horschel, and Justin Thomas. Hovland, the defending champion, begins on two-under, while Horschel and Thomas start further back in the field.
The starting scores for all players in the Tour Championship are listed, with Scheffler holding the lead at 10-under. Schauffele, Matsuyama, Bradley, and Aberg round out the top five, with McIlroy starting at four-under. The no-cut event offers an opportunity for players to make a comeback and challenge for the $25m first prize.
