TOUR Championship - Final Round

Chris Condon

After 36 PGA Tour events, four World Golf Championships, four majors and three legs of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the season has finally reached its climax, the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The top-30 players in the standings will take on the Donald Ross-designed course for a shot at the ultimate $10 million prize.

Mathematically, any of the final 30 can win the FedEx Cup title, but it would be hard to envision the winner not coming from the group of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Marc Leishman, Jon Rahm, Rickie Fowler or Hideki Matsuyama, the top seven players entering the week..

A few others have emerged to possibly sneak into the winner's circle though, including Justin Rose, who has recently found the form that earned him top-four finishes earlier this season at the Sony Open, Farmers Insurance Open, Genesis Open and the Masters. After entering the playoffs at 32nd in the standings, the Englishman has leaped to eighth with three straight top-10s, including last week's T-2 at the BMW Championship.

Rounding out the top 10 of the standings are Brooks Koepka and Paul Casey, who are still within striking distance thanks to the Tour Championship's points reset.
