Itโ€™s that time of year where the best golfers in the world tee it up for a shot at winning the FedEx Cup and a cool $10,000,000. The Tour Championship winds up at East Lake and with just 30 in the field, thereโ€™s plenty to play for.

Jordan Speith heads in as the favourite although itโ€™s no gimme with some of the worlds best chomping at his feet including the inform Aussie Marc Lieshman. Points are accumulated throughout the season with the field ranked 1-30 and the winner doesnโ€™t necessarily take all.

With a complex and constantly changing scenario, hereโ€™s what you need to know for the season ending event.

  • The $10 Million prize money goes to the FedEx Cup winner
  • This isnโ€™t necessarily the tournament winner
  • Points are accumulated throughout the season
  • The top 5 will win the FedEx with a win at East Lake
  • The other 25 will have to rely on other results
  • All 30 players have a chance at winning
  • Second prize is $3 Million โ€“ thereโ€™s plenty to play for
  • This doesnโ€™t include the $8.8 Million tournament prize pool!

With Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Marc Leishman and John Rahm rounding out the top five, itโ€™s hard to see a bolter. Leishman is fresh off a five-shot victory at last weekโ€™s BMW Championship and could add to Aussies recent run of hot performing golfers.

Strap in for a solid weekend of golf, the Tour Championship never disappoints.
