The end of a truncated season that has still lasted longer than it was supposed to has arrived with this week’s Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The biggest stars on the PGA Tour will duke it out for $45 million in earnings for the second consecutive season with the winner earning $15 million alone.
Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas are the favorites to win this week, mostly because they start at 10 under, 8 under and 7 under respectively, but also because they’re the top three players in the world and have been among the four best since the PGA Tour restarted in early June.
But don’t discount the other 27 players in this field. Rory McIlroy vaulted up to win the crown last year from ___ after Just Thomas started with the advantage and sputtered early. This course always seems to bring out the best from the top players in the world (remember Tiger Woods walking down 18 in 2018 for his win?) and this year should be no different with players looking to keep their form for another major at the U.S. Open in two weeks.
