The PGA Tour is wrapping up its 2019-2020 season this week with the annual TOUR Championship. The tournament gets underway on Friday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia and by the end of the Labor Day weekend, the Tour will crown the FedEx Cup Playoffs champion.
This is a rare Friday to Monday tournament due to the Labor Day holiday. The 30-man field gets underway Friday at noon ET. Golf Channel will broadcast Friday and Saturday from 1 to 6 p.m., Sunday from 1-3, and Monday from 12-1:30 p.m. NBC will broadcast Sunday from 3-7 p.m. and and Monday from 1:30-6 p.m. PGA Tour Live will offer a live stream all four days.
The field consists of the top 30 golfers on the FedExCup points leaderboard following a cutdown from 120 in The Northern Trust to 70 in last week’s BMW Championship. The tee times are handled different for this tournament. Normally the first two days are assigned to trios using a merit system based on a player’s status on the Tour. Then the final two days are reset each day based on the leaderboard.
For the TOUR Championship, it’s based entirely on the handicapped leaderboard. Every golfer gets a handicap based on the FedExCup Playoffs leaderboard. Dustin Johnson will start the tournament at -10, Jon Rahm starts at -8, Justin Thomas at -7, and so forth down to five golfers starting at even par.
The tee times are set into pairs of two based on their standings heading into the first round. Cameron Champ and Billy Horschel will tee off at noon to start the day, and Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm will tee off at 2:20 p.m. as the last group of the day.
Here is a full rundown of tee times for Round 1 of the TOUR Championship on Friday.
