Scottie Scheffler eyes history at East Lake, but PGA Tour pros like Spaun, Rory, Fleetwood and a dark horse could flip the FedEx Cup script.

The 2025 Tour Championship will begin on Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and Scottie Scheffler will be seeking his second consecutive title after besting Collin Morikawa by four shots last season.

This year, however, the PGA Tour is using a different format to determine a TOUR Champion for the 2025 season compared to previous seasons. The change means that Scottie Scheffler, who is the No. 1 player in the FedEx Cup standings, will not have an advantage over the competition like he did last season.

Maverick McNealy looks to make an impression at the Tour Championship so that U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley has no choice but to take him.

Even if one does not lift the FedEx Cup at the end of the Tour Championship, there are still eight other seven-figure paydays available. Second place will earn $5 million while eighth will bring in a shade over $1 million for playing the final 72 holes of the season.
