The 2025 Tour Championship will begin on Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and Scottie Scheffler will be seeking his second consecutive title after besting Collin Morikawa by four shots last season.

The change means that Scottie Scheffler, who is the No. 1 player in the FedEx Cup standings, will not have an advantage over the competition like he did last season.

Scottie Scheffler, the leader in the FedEx Cup standings heading into this week’s Tour Championship, holds a 3,769-point advantage over No. 2 Rory McIlroy after winning the BMW Championship on Sunday.
