It has all come down to this.
A $40 million purse is at stake, including $10 million to the golfer who is standing alone at the 18th hole at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta at the 2025 Tour Championship.
The final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs is a stroke-play event, meaning each of the 30 golfers competing will start at even par, and the best score at the end of four rounds will be the champion, just like it was at any other event on the tour. It eliminates the starting stroke, which gave the golfers with the highest-ranking entering the event a decided advantage.
That means, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who won last week’s BMW Championship and is the leader in FedEx Cup points, must play his best to become the first back-to-back champion since the FedEx Cup Playoffs were first played in 2007.
