The 2023 PGA Tour Championship will feature the top 30 golfers in the current FedExCup rankings competing for a massive purse, including $18 million to the winner, during four rounds at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s a departure from the other two FedExCup playoff events, featuring a starting strokes format that accounts for a golfer’s entire body of work throughout the 2023 PGA Tour season.
Since 2019, we’ve seen this starting strokes format implemented, resulting in Patrick Cantlay winning in 2021, while Rory McIlroy has won twice, including last year, making him the defending champion. It’s important to note that no golfer has ever won consecutive FedExCup titles, adding additional interest toward McIlroy’s performance at East Lake this week.
