Tour Championship Begins at East Lake With Scheffler as Favorite

The 2026 PGA Tour season concludes this week at the Tour Championship, where Scottie Scheffler enters as the overwhelming favorite to claim the FedEx Cup title and its $10 million winner's prize. The tournament, featuring the top 30 players from the FedEx Cup standings, begins on Thursday, August 27, at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, and runs through Sunday, August 30. Scheffler, who won the Tour Championship in 2024 and has a strong record at East Lake, is the clear choice among analysts and prediction markets. He recently recovered from hand, foot, and mouth disease at the BMW Championship, where he finished tied for 12th after a slow start.
