As such, the FedEx Cup playoff field has dipped to 30 players. The 2025 Tour Championship will again host those skilled enough to pass the first two playoff checkpoints and reach the postseason finale, where the final winner of the week will receive $10 million.
Unlike the recent iterations of Tour Championships, which featured the start, this year’s Tour Championships will all 30 players launch the tournament uniformly. Of course, world No. 1 Scotty Scheffler appears to be the first to take in a row in a row in a race during the season, so he puts that list at the top.
Schaeffler will be his defense at 2pm on Thursday, along with the man with Rory McIlroy, the most FedEx Cup title (3). Many quality pairings will take part in the golf course before the top two FedEx Cup players stand at the first teebox at Eastlake Golf Club. Check the complete 2025 Tour Championship TV Schedule and Coverage Guide So you can follow the action all week.
These include exactly two hours before the final tee time when Viktor Hovland and Morikawa begin the tournament at noon. Linking to each other since college, the duo has been pros at the same time, but on the other side, begins to perform pairings that can be seen in Beth Page Black a month later.
Windham Championship winner Cameron Young will be paired with Swedish superstar Ludwig Åberg at 12:49pm and will be ahead of Russell Henry and several Georgia Bulldogs at 1:27pm.
Take a look at all 15 pairings from the first round of the 2025 Tour Championship held at East Lake Golf Club. Follow the live updates of the Tour Championship Leaderboard throughout Round 1 on Thursday.
