PGA Tour: Tour Championship
East Lake Golf Course, Thursday 21st - Sunday 24th August
Top Picks
Scottie Scheffler ($2.70)
With his dominant BMW Championship victory fresh in mind, including a sensational 82-foot birdie from off the green, Scheffler heads into Atlanta as the man to beat. His fifth win of 2025 propels him into the season finale brimming with confidence and peak form.
Tommy Fleetwood ($16/Top 5 $3.00)
Fleetwood’s recent stretch—leading into the final rounds at both the Travelers Championship and FedEx St. Jude before solid finishes—signals that he’s hitting form at the right time. His precise iron play and composure could make him a stylish and effective dark horse this week.
Dark Horses
Justin Rose ($51/Top 10 $2.70)
A seasoned major winner and previously elegant performer at East Lake, Rose brings a calm, precise game that suits the course’s narrow fairways and green complexity. His playoff experience and ability to rise under pressure mark him as a sneaky contender.
Cameron Young ($33/Top 10 $2.20)
Cameron Young enters the Tour Championship as one of the most dangerous players in the field, thanks to a combination of raw power and steadily improving consistency. Few in the game drive the ball as far and as straight as Young, and East Lake rewards that strength by setting up shorter approaches into demanding greens. His recent run of strong finishes, including multiple top-10s in the playoffs, shows his game is trending in the right direction at the perfect time.
The Field
The field is comprised of the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings following the BMW Championship. Their line-up includes stars like Scheffler, McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, and Cameron Young—all vying for one of the biggest prizes in golf.
Scottie Scheffler enters as the season’s most prolific winner, boasting multiple titles and elite consistency. Meanwhile, McIlroy and Thomas look to balance their playoff finishes and deliver late-season runs to capture the FedExCup.
This year’s format resets everyone to even par, replacing the previous staggered starts. That creates a clean-slate race where anyone in the top 30 can realistically win, resetting mental pressure while increasing the potential for dramatic leaderboard shifts.
The Course
East Lake Golf Club, revitalized by Donald Ross and restored by Rees Jones, is a classic par-70 layout measuring around 7,346 yards, featuring tree-lined fairways, subtle elevation changes, and fast MiniVerde Bermudagrass greens. It has been the permanent home of the Tour Championship since 2004.
Key holes include the demanding uphill Par-5 6th, the scenic and strategic Par-4 7th overlooking the Atlanta skyline, and the water-guarded Par-3 15th, all requiring precision and thoughtful strategic play.
East Lake rewards accuracy, iron control, and a strong short game. At stroke play and with FedExCup glory on the line, mental resilience and course management are just as critical as raw power—making each shot and decision potentially pivotal.
