The toughest player field of the season promises the best professional golfing of the season due to the sheer depth of talent. It all begins at 13:00 (UK).
Thirty of the best players in the world made the cut for the Tour Championships, which begin today at East Lake. The competitors in the final tournament of the PGA season and ongoing FedEx Cup Playoff Series will be playing for the title of PGA Tour Champion, $8,000,000 in prize money and 2,500 FedEx Cup Points. The opening round should be some of the best golfing we have seen all season with Winner Sports covering each stroke.
The Tour Championships by Coca-Cola go on until the September 14 and the course is a favorite among most of the pros.
The Race for FedEx Points
Chris Kirk is in top spot of the FedEx Cup race with 4,314 points ahead of today's tournament. Billy Horschel and Bubba Watson are not far behind with 4,305 and 4,058 respectively. One player that has his eye on taking the lead atop yet another golfing list is Rory McIlroy in fourth spot with 3,735 points and is the favorite to win at East Lake.
Being a FedEx Cup Winner means that you are the overall champion for the PGA in that year. It also means that you're bank account will be getting a massive boost as prize money this year is around $67 million for the FedEx Cup Playoff Series alone, not taking into account bonuses and advertising deals.
Win with Winner Sports
Winner Online Sports Book is offering outright players bets for the first round of the Tour Championships at East Lake. Dustin Johnson made the cut but had to opt out of the tournament after failing a drug test so only 29 players are on the board. McIlroy is the outright favorite at 5.50 while Adam Scott is not-so-close-behind at 13.00. Fowler, Furyk and Garcia are in a three-way tie for third place but many people thing Jim Furyk is due for a win this round and the odds are attractive.
