Each player in the field this week at East Lake Golf Club has achieved a season-long goal, but only one will leave Atlanta with the ultimate prize.

The FedExCup Playoffs began with 70 players two weeks ago in Memphis but now just 30 remain for the TOUR Championship, the final event of the 2024 season. The winner this week will be crowned the FedExCup Champion, earn a $25 million payday and receive a five-year PGA TOUR exemption.

Under the TOUR Championship’s unique Starting Strokes format, FedExCup leader Scottie Scheffler will tee off Thursday at 10 under. No. 2 Xander Schauffele will begin 8 under. The final players in the field begin at even par, and the deficit for the players in between is determined by their FedExCup ranking.

Here’s a look at the 30 players who qualified for the TOUR Championship and how they made it to the final event of the FedExCup Playoffs.

Rank	Player	Comment
1	Scottie Scheffler	Last year he set the mark as the first player to enter the TOUR Championship at No. 1 in the FedExCup in back-to-back seasons ... make that three straight seasons for this year’s six-time winner on TOUR.

4	Keegan Bradley	The United States’ 2025 Ryder Cup captain was the last man in the BMW field but came away with the trophy after four days of impressive play that may have just put him in position to be a playing assistant captain at the upcoming Presidents Cup.
5	Ludvig Åberg	The rising star qualified for the TOUR Championship in his first full season on TOUR thanks to a trio of runner-up finishes – including last week’s BMW Championship – and 12 top 25s.

7	Collin Morikawa	Makes his fifth consecutive TOUR Championship start but enters East Lake after a pair of lackluster performances at the FedEx St. Jude (T22) and BMW Championship (T28).
8	Wyndham Clark	Made it to East Lake for the first time last season, where he finished third, and returns after a hometown T13 last week at Castle Pines, his eighth top 25 of the season.
9	Sam Burns	Flirted with wins the last two weeks at the FedEx St. Jude (T5) and BMW Championship (T2) and heads to his fourth straight TOUR Championship with some serious momentum.
10	Patrick Cantlay	Since his T3 at the U.S. Open, Cantlay has strung together some nice finishes at the Travelers Championship (T5), The Open Championship (T25) and FedEx St. Jude Championship (T12) to punch his ticket to East Lake for the fourth straight year (and seventh in his career).
11	Sungjae Im	The FedExCup runner-up in 2022 has finished inside the top 25 in half his 2024 starts, including a T11 showing last week at the BMW Championship; makes his sixth TOUR Championship start in as many seasons.

16	Byeong Hun An	Came close to his first win with four top-five finishes this season and will make his TOUR Championship debut this week.
17	Viktor Hovland	Last year’s FedExCup champion, Hovland – who has qualified for every TOUR Championship since he became a PGA TOUR member in 2020 – entered the Playoffs at No. 57 but leaped inside the top 20 with his T2 finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and remained there after his T26 in Colorado.
18	Russell Henley	Missed just one cut this season en route to his fourth East Lake start this week.
19	Akshay Bhatia	Finished T12 in his Playoffs debut at the FedEx St. Jude and has made it all the way to East Lake despite a less-than-stellar T45 at the BMW last week, largely thanks to a win at the Valero Texas Open and T2 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
20	Robert MacIntyre	Will make his TOUR Championship debut this week to cap a season that features a pair of wins at the RBC Canadian Open and Genesis Scottish Open.
