GOLF – They are on nearly opposite ends of the Tour Championship field.
The favourite: Scottie Scheffler enters as the FedEx Cup point standings leader, a familiar place for the world’s No. 1 golfer.
The inspirational story: Gary Woodland made big moves during the playoffs and overcame adversity to enter 18th in the 30-player field.
Both have an equal chance of winning the tournament and the $10 million top prize.
Thanks to the format change before last year’s playoff finale, there are no strokes given for starting position.
Win the tournament and win the FedEx Cup championship.
East Lake Golf Club has meant a lot to Scheffler’s career – good and bad.
He had a heartbreaking loss in the 2022 Tour Championship, losing to Rory McIlroy.
He finally broke through with a victory and the FedEx Cup title in 2024.
