The 2016-17 season all comes down to the Tour Championship. The top-30 players from the year’s FedEx Cup standing arrive in Atlanta this week with hopes of capturing the $10 million first prize. You can see the early-round chase for the big payday exclusively on PGA TOUR LIVE, which will have coverage beginning early Thursday morning.
Every golfer in the 30-man field has an avenue to win the big prize, but the top-5 in the standings — Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Marc Leishman and Jon Rahm — control their own destiny, meaning if they win this week, they take home the FedEx Cup. PGA TOUR LIVE‘s coverage window over the first two days of the event will begin at 10 a.m. and continue throughout the round to give fans unprecedented coverage of East Lake’s most compelling holes.
