The 2025 Tour Championship is set to begin on August 21 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. Notably, it is the thrilling climax of the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Playoffs, featuring the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming event.
Prize money breakdown
The 2025 Tour Championship boasts a massive $40 million purse, with the winner claiming $10 million, one of the largest payouts in professional golf. The remaining prize money will be distributed among the top 30 players, with significant bonuses for top finishers. This high-stakes payout not only rewards performance but also highlights the tournament’s status as the PGA Tour’s season-defining event.
East Lake Golf Club insights
East Lake Golf Club, the historic home of Bobby Jones, has hosted the Tour Championship since 2004 (except 2007). Interestingly, in 2025, the Tour Championship eliminates the starting strokes system, creating a fair 72-hole stroke-play competition where all 30 players begin on equal footing.
This par-70, 7,440-yard course, recently restored by architect Andrew Green, blends tradition with modern challenges. Its narrow fairways, fast greens, and strategic risk-reward holes, like the par-5 18th with its water-guarded green, test even the best players.
