The best golfers in the world will meet from this Thursday in Atlanta the Tour Championship, the final stop of the FedEx Series playoffsand they do it with Scottie Scheffler at the helm.
The American entered the tournament at -10 thanks to his first place in the FedEx Series. Behind him was last week’s BMW Championship winner, Patrick Cantlay (-8), Xander Schauffele (-6), Sam Burns (-5), Cameron Smith (-4), Rory McIlroy (-4), Tony Finau ( -4), Sungjae Im (-4) and Sepp Straka (-4).
Jon Rahm came to the appointment with -3in an exciting challenge in search of the loot of 18 million dollars that the tournament champion will take home.
The Basque finished the BMW Championship in eighth position after a great finish where he delivered a card WITH four birdies without fail, on the second part of the Wilmington route.
This result, his eighth ‘top 10’ of the season on the American circuit, did not allow him to maintain the fifth place in the world ranking, which he gave up for the benefit of Xander Schauffele.
The tournament will have 29 players this year instead of the usual 30 due to the loss of Will Zalatoris. The American had to retire in the penultimate round of the BMW Championship when he was four strokes behind the leader due to back problems, a problem that ultimately separated him from the final stage in Atlanta.
