The Tour Championship signals an end to the 2018/19 PGA Tour season – and this year the tournament has gained even greater importance.

That's because the Tour Championship is one of the FedEX Cup playoff tournaments, where only the top 30 players will compete for the huge purse on offer.

The Tour Championship will be graded this year, so players at the top of the FedEx Cup leaderboard heading into the tournament will have a shot advantage.

Players are therefore not only competing for the title in Atlanta but also FedEx Cup points in the season-long battle to win that side tournament.

Justin Thomas is the top points earner in 2018/19 and so starts with a -10 stroke advantage. There is a staggering £57m worth of prize money at stake this year.
