The final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs is here — the Tour Championship will see the top 30 players compete for the trophy and a $40 million purse. Other changes are coming to the tour as well, including new group stage matches, similar to the World Cup, with the new format to be implemented in 2028.

Scottie Scheffler enters the Tour Championship a slight favorite. He finished first in the standings, although there’s room for surprises as well. All players start at even par, upping the stakes for the tournament. Last year saw Tommy Fleetwood secure his first PGA Tour victory, breaking a long drought.

This year marks the first time the FedEx Cup playoffs will air on ESPN’s linear channel. Full coverage is split between multiple networks, including ESPN, the Golf Channel, and CBS. The tournament spans four days, kicking off Thursday and running through Sunday.
