This week The Tour Championship
Held at the East Lake Golf Club
7440 Yards Par 70
Atlanta
The Defending Champion is Scottie Scheffler
In the TH our Tour Champion is Wendy
We are down to the final dirty thirty for the Tour Championship, the FedEx Cup and a whole lot of money. This event was conceived in 1987 as an event for the top 30 golfers on the previous years money list. Even in those early years this was a big money event, $2 million for Tom Watson at that inaugural event. Big change this year . . . No more seeding of players by giving them strokes. Everyone lines up on the starting line at even par and the low score on Sunday afternoon gets the pot of gold. Who gets hot at just the right time? Bart Bryant beat Tiger by 6 strokes in 2005 . . . Bill Haas winning from the water?
Another no cut event with a limited field, lets see how many of us put Scottie on the team / pick him to win. I am expecting a certain amount of overlap. But then again there could always be a surprise . . .
FUN FACT: Tiger Woods won the 2018 Tour Championship but finished second in the FedEx Cup . . . Justin Rose won the FedEx Cup despite finishing T4.
