GUIDE TO THE PGA TOUR'S 2019 FEDEX CUP FINALE
What is the FedEx Cup?
It is a season-long race during which points are awarded based on results at PGA Tour events. The playoffs are a three-tournament series culminating with this week's Tour Championship, which decides the FedEx Cup winner.
How does the format work?
The FedEx Cup leader starts the Tour Championship with a 10-under-par score, two strokes ahead of second place. Scores regress down the 30-player leaderboard until 26th through 30th start at even par. From there, winner of the event wins the play-offs series.
Where is it?
The Tour Championship is held at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia
How much bonus money is paid?
The FedEx Cup winner pockets $US15 million, second place receives $US5 million and the pool is shared incrementally with 30th place banking $US395,000.
Where are the Australians positioned?
Adam Scott (13th) starts at three under and Marc Leishman (21st) at one under.
