The Tour Championship 2019 Preview:
The 2018–19 PGA Tour season comes to an end this season as the FedEx Cup playoffs reach their climax with The Tour Championship in Atlanta, Georgia.
The traditional closing event of the PGA season will feature the top-30 ranked golfers on the FedEx Cup ranking, but the tournament has implemented significant format changes this year.
The most notable among them is that there is already a leader, even though the first tee is still two days away.
Under the new format, the FedEx Cup leader will start the event at 10-under par, while the second seed will start at 8-under, the third seed at 7-under and so on down to the fifth seed at 5-under.
Players seeded between six to 10 will begin at 4-under, while seeds 11–15 will begin at 3-under, all the way down to seeds 26–30, who will start at even par.
That means Justin Thomas, who won the BMW Championship at Medinah, Illinois, on Sunday, will start the final event of the season at 10-under par after taking the lead in the FedEx Cup standings.
Patrick Cantlay will begin two shots adrift, while world number one Brooks Koepka and 2018 Masters winner Patrick Reed will begin at 7-under and 6-under respectively.
Having a leader before the tournament hasn’t even begun is the most radical change among those implemented this year, but it is not the only one.
Notably, from this year the winner of The Tour Championship will also be the winner of the FedEx Cup.
Since the FedEx Cup Playoffs made their debut in 2007, the winner of the FedEx Cup Playoffs has differed from the winner of The Tour Championship on four occasions.
That happened twice in the last three seasons, including last year, when Woods won The Tour Championship and Justin Rose claimed the FedEx Cup, even though he didn’t win any of the four FedEx Cup playoff events.
