Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy lead the Top 30 players in the PGA TOUR FedExCup Playoff standings competing for the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga., headlining this week’s live golf coverage on NBC, GOLF Channel, and Peacock.
The Top 30 players in the FedExCup Playoff standings will square off this week and compete for the FedExCup title at the TOUR Championship East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Scottie Scheffler won last week’s BMW Championship at Caves Valley – punctuated by his dramatic birdie chip-in on the 17th hole – to become the first player since Tiger Woods (2006-07) to win at least five times in back-to-back years.
Scheffler is the defending FedExCup Champion, defeating Collin Morikawa by two shots last year. The field of 30 also includes U.S. Open winner J.J. Spaun, FedEx St. Jude Champion Justin Rose, and Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley. This year’s TOUR Championship format is standard 72-hole stroke play after eliminating the Starting Strokes format.
