Tour Championship 2023 Field

The Tour Championship will be made up of the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup rankings.

The top of the leaderboard includes Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy, but there are several other golfers to keep an eye on this week.

Players won’t be competing for anymore FedEx Cup points anymore this weekend.

Instead, there is $75 million in bonus money up for grabs at East Lake, but to escape with the win, most golfers will have to come from behind.

By advancing to the Tour Championship, all participants this weekend received an automatic two-year exemption on the Tour.
Unlike the other FedEx Cup Playoff events, the Tour Championship will feature a staggered start, meaning the No.1 ranked player will start 10-under, meaning Scheffler will be even tougher to beat.

Tour Championship 2023 Tee Times

Since it’s only a 30-player field, there will only be 15 pairings teeing off at East Lake.

Tee times begin the latest that they have all season at around 11:26 a.m. ET with the groups teeing off in 11-minute intervals. The last group is scheduled to tee off at 2 p.m. ET.

The first group to tee kick off the FedEx Cup Playoffs will feature Jordan Spieth and Sepp Straka. Due to the small field size, there will only be groups of two this weekend.

Featured Groups for Round 1

It’s the playoffs, so every pairing in the field for the Tour Championship is a featured group to watch.

The top groups are sorted based on their FedEx Cup rankings. That means the top-ranked players will be paired together this weekend.

The first and second players on the FedEx Cup Standings, Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland will be one of the main pairs to watch this weekend. The rest of the field will be sorted according to their rankings, including Rory McIlroy and John Rahm, who will be matched up at East Lake.

Basically, each pairing is a must-watch and tee times begin at 11:26 a.m. ET. Since it’s a staggered start, players teeing off earlier have a tougher weekend ahead of them.
