The 2024 Tour Championship is the final event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, where a whopping $100 million is up for grabs. The event kicks off with the opening round at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. East Lake underwent a thorough restoration this year, providing golfers with an unfamiliar test on the course. There are only four rounds left to play to determine the 2024 FedEx Cup champion, and the stakes are high for the players.
The two men on top of the standings heading into the Tour Championship, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, have great records at East Lake but have never won the FedEx Cup. If either player secures a victory this week, they will earn a record $25 million. The anticipation is high as these two top players share the final pairing in the opening round, teeing off at 2 p.m. ET.
