The 2024 Tour Championship will mark the culmination of the FedEx Cup Playoffs this year. As the third and final tournament in the post-season series, it follows the FedEx St. Jude Championship and the BMW Championship.
The top 30 golfers with the most FedEx Cup points qualify for the Tour Championship. The players also get a starting stroke advantage depending on their position in the points list. Scottie Scheffler, the points leader, started with a significant -10 advantage, while Xander Schauffele, ranked second, began with an 8-stroke-advantage.
The advantage decreases down the points list, with those ranked at the bottom receiving no advantage. This advantage plays a crucial role in shaping the leaderboard and adds an extra layer of excitement to the Tour Championship.
