2026 PGA Tour Championship

Overview

The 2026 Tour Championship, the finale of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, is taking place at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, from August 27-30. The tournament features a $40 million total purse, with $10 million designated for the winner.

Following the opening round, Min Woo Lee held the lead with a 62 (-8). Other notable performances included world number one Scottie Scheffler, who shot a 5-under-par 65 to tie for 5th place, and Kim Joo-hyung, who finished tied for 15th with a 3-under-par 67.

As the second round commenced, Swedish golfer Ludvig Åberg emerged as a top contender after posting an opening round of 65 (-5). Åberg was paired with Scheffler for the second day, as both players entered the round with identical opening scores. While Min Woo Lee maintained the lead, Datagolf analytics identified Åberg as one of the favorites, noting that only three players possessed a higher statistical chance of victory.

Following the first 36 holes, Viktor Hovland and Ryan Gerard are currently tied for the lead. Both players are scheduled to tee off in the final group on Saturday at 2:55 PM ET, which provides a strategic advantage by allowing them to observe course conditions throughout the day. Other notable players remaining in contention include Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup.
