The PGA TOUR is revolutionizing its season finale with a bold two-week match-play format starting in 2028, replacing the traditional stroke-play TOUR Championship. Players will battle head-to-head across iconic, rotating venues — some long overdue for a return — to create a more thrilling, fan-engaging climax. Top stars like Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott praise the change, calling it a direct response to fan demand. The format begins with a stroke-play cut to 32 players, preserving the FedExCup champion’s automatic spot, before diving into intense match play. With venues to be announced in February, this “big swing” promises a dynamic, unforgettable finish to the gol...

Rory McIlroy’s FedExCup journey is a tale of three defining wins—2016, 2019, and 2022—each carrying its own weight: the first cemented his legacy, the second was redemption after near-misses, and the third gave him personal satisfaction in slowing Scheffler’s rise. With a playoff format he values and a track record at this course, McIlroy eyes another trophy as he heads into the Tour Championship hungry to cap his season with yet another milestone.

The Tour Championship is fantasy golf’s final showdown—no cut, all 30 players play 72 holes, and the winner claims the FedEx Cup crown with real cash. Strategy hinges on outsmarting your rivals: snagging top players like Scottie Scheffler if they’re available to you but not your competition, or playing it safe with under-the-radar picks.

Captain Sam Burns, starters Patrick Cantlay, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele, with Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Matsuyama on the bench. It’s all about catching the leader—even if it m...
