The field has been cut to 30 for the final event of the 2024 PGA Tour season. Heading to a newly revamped East Lake Golf Club, players vie for the season-long crown at a long-time PGA Tour stop. While big names like Max Homa, Will Zalatoris and Cameron Young are no longer teeing it up, the stars are still shining bright.

For the third straight season, Scottie Scheffler enters the Tour Championship in pole position at 10 under and in possession of a two-stroke lead. Unable to convert this margin into victories in 2022 when he was passed by Rory McIlroy and 2023 when Viktor Hovland claimed the title, the world No. 1 looks to grab his first FedEx Cup crown.

His nearest competitor is the same man who has been nipping at his heels, Xander Schauffele. The world No. 2 needed a win at the BMW Championship to pass Scheffler ahead of East Lake but was unable to mount a final-round charge in Colorado. Instead, he starts at 8 under and one ahead of Hideki Matsuyama, who had to pull out from last week's tournament with a back injury.

Keegan Bradley jumped from No. 50 in the FedEx Cup to No. 4 with his win at Castle Pines. He starts at 6 under and only four off the pace while Ludvig Åberg — winless this season — rounds out the top five at 5 under thanks to a consistent sophomore season. Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark, Rory McIlroy are among those at 4 under and in need of a massive performance to win the FedEx Cup.
