The Tour Championship
Encyclopedia
The Tour Championship was historically the final event of golf's
PGA Tour
season. Since 2007
, it has been the final event of the FedEx Cup
, the competition for the first official championship trophy for the PGA Tour season. From 1987
to 1996
, several courses hosted the event. Beginning in 1997
, the event alternated between Champions Golf Club
in Houston, Texas
, and East Lake Golf Club
in Atlanta, Georgia
; since 2004
, East Lake has been the event's permanent home. It is one of the richest tournaments on the tour.
through 2006
, the top 30 money winners on the PGA Tour after the penultimate event qualified for the event. It took place in early November, the week after the comparable event in Europe, the Volvo Masters
, which allowed players who are members of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour to play in both end of season events. After the Tour Championship, the money list for the season was finalized. There were, and still are, a number of additional events between the Tour Championship and Christmas which are recognized by the PGA Tour, but prize money won in them is unofficial. Also, because this tournament's field is not as large as other golf tournaments, there is no 36-hole cut; all players who start the event are credited with making the cut and receive some prize money.
, the Tour Championship moved from its November date to a date in mid-September, where it ends a four-tournament "Chase for the FedEx Cup"
; this was announced on the Wednesday of the week of the 2005 event. As in past years, 30 players qualify for the event, however the basis for qualification is no longer prize money. Instead, FedEx Cup points amassed during the regular PGA Tour season and then during the three preceding playoff events determine the participants. Beginning in 2009, the assignment and awarding of points assures that if any of the top five FedEx Cup point leaders going into The Tour Championship win the event, they will also win the FedEx Cup. It still remains possible, however, for one player to win the Tour Championship and another player to win the FedEx Cup. In 2007, Tiger Woods
won both the 2007 Tour Championship and the inaugural FedEx Cup. In 2008, The Tour Championship was won by Camilo Villegas
, while Vijay Singh
won the FedEx Cup. In 2009, Phil Mickelson
won The Tour Championship, while Tiger Woods
won the FedEx Cup.
The PGA Tour's season does not end at the Tour Championship. 2007 was also the inaugural year for the Tour's Fall Series
(also known as the "Quest for the Card"), which determines the rest of the top 125 players eligible for the following year's FedEx Cup.
Prizes shown below are awarded for finishes in the Tour Championship itself.
