Viktor Hovland has revealed his state of shock at discovering a completely different East Lake test ahead of his title defence at this week's Tour Championship. Soon after Hovland etched his name on the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup for the first time in his career last August, the iconic East Lake Golf Club underwent major restoration led by Andrew Green.

Atlanta, GA

After a year’s worth of golf, good shots and bad, victories and close calls, the 2024 PGA Tour season comes down to one final event, the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The winner on Sunday from the 30-player field will claim not just the tournament title but also the FedEx Cup and its $25 million reward for the culmination of a year’s worth of golf.

Here's where all 30 players begin with the Tour Championship's staggered-start format

Thirty players have the chance this week to claim the title of 2024 FedEx Cup champion with a victory at the Tour Championship—and take home the $25 million reward for the honor. The money is substantial—$7 million to the winner than a year ago—but it’s about a lot more than that, especially for Scottie Scheffler.

ATLANTA — At an event with an unusual staggered start, the topic of giving strokes has come up a lot in pre-tournament pressers. Scottie Scheffler shared that his historic season has him giving more shots to his buddies than ever and Xander Schauffele said he doesn't give his friends any strokes. Ouch. But no one gave a better answer than Justin Thomas.

Exhausted, crabby, upset, loud, sore, mad, blubbering. We could be describing a toddler mid-temper tantrum or perhaps an especially unhappy golfer amid a tough day on the course. Either way, both have the same descriptives, which is a connection that tour pro Adam Schenk put to good use while parenting a cranky kid this week.

SUTTON COLDFIELD, England — Almost half a century has slipped by since the beginning of a working relationship that continues today. It was in 1978 at a Hennessy Cognac Cup match between a Great Britain & Ireland team and one from the Continent of Europe that a 21-year-old Nick Faldo first played competitively at The Belfry. And now, 46 years on, the now Sir Nick is hosting the Betfred British Masters at the same venue, but on a course that has seen much change and improvement over the passage of time.

East Lake’s restoration has given several players fits this week in preparation for the PGA Tour’s season-finale Tour Championship, highlighted by the new par-5 18th. Scottie Scheffler attested on Tuesday the hole was so hard that he was considering taking an alternative route down the 10th hole, believing it would be the easier way to birdie.

Nelly Korda’s Sunday was not a fun day at St. Andrews this weekend. The World No. 1 lead the AIG Women’s Open field by two strokes with five holes to play before a double-bogey 7 on the par-5 14th erased her advantage. An additional bogey on the 17th hole, plus a fantastic inward nine from winner Lydia Ko, meant that Korda's headline-grabbing season ended with a single major win.

Justin Thomas’ epic FedEx Cup troll job with leave fans ROFL

Dunking a ball into water inside a penalty area happens to the best of golfers. And if any portion of the ball is still above the surface, some are tempted to avoid the penalty stroke and hit it out. Just witness what PGA Tour pro Adam Long attempted at the 2023 Honda Classic.

ATLANTA — The PGA Tour wraps up its FedEx Cup season in late August for a reason—namely to avoid going up against the NFL. Sure, there is a slate of fall events, but most of the top players tend to take off most if not all those tournaments. That makes the year’s final four months ripe for other options, including a possible international series that would bring together top players via a merger of the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf League.
