The 2025 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club: A Prestigious and Challenging Finale
The 2025 Tour Championship is set to take place at the East Lake Golf Club, a renowned par-70, 7,440-yard parkland course. The tournament, serving as the season finale and the decider for the FedEx Cup, promises to be an exciting event, with no handicaps or starting stroke advantages for the 30 participating players.
The course, designed by Donald Ross and renovated most recently in 2023 by Andrew Green, features two par-five holes, twelve par-fours, and four par-threes. The greens, planted with TifEagle Bermuda, are expected to run faster than in previous years, aided by a SubAir drainage system.
Key statistics to note include the course record for 72 holes, set by Tiger Woods in 2007 at 257, and the single-round record also held by Zach Johnson, who shot a 60 in the same year.
Leading players who have won at East Lake include Rory McIlroy, who has triumphed three times, and Scottie Scheffler, the current world No. 1 and winner of half of his last five starts. However, both McIlroy and Scheffler will start on even par this year, making the tournament a level playing field from the start.
In the 2025 event, Tommy Fleetwood and Patrick Cantlay led going into the final round at 16-under-par, with Fleetwood aiming for his first PGA Tour win and Cantlay looking for his first of the season. Russell Henley and Cameron Young were close contenders earlier in the event, with notable birdie streaks on the back nine.
The course setup favours strong ball striking due to thick rough and demanding, fast greens, emphasizing precision.
In the race for strokes gained: putting - Bermuda greens, Harry Hall leads with a score of 35.6. Scottie Scheffler, who has the lowest bogey avoidance percentage in the 2025 PGA Tour season with a percentage of 10.65%, currently stands as the favourite to repeat at the Tour Championship in Atlanta at East Lake Golf Club and to win the FedExCup for a second consecutive year, with odds of +150.
Ludvig Åberg, who has the highest distance rank in the 2025 PGA Tour season with a score of 18, is also a contender with odds of 16-1. Russell Henley, who has the shortest distance from the edge of the fairway in the 2025 PGA Tour season with a distance of 18' 6'', is also in the running with odds of 20-1.
Viktor Hovland has the highest proximity gained (feet gained toward hole per round) in the last 50 rounds with a score of 19.72. Scottie Scheffler has the highest strokes gained: approach average per round in the 2025 PGA Tour season with a score of 1.294.
The fairways at East Lake Golf Club are on the narrower side, averaging just 30 yards wide, with the Bermuda rough being tricky at 3.5 inches.
The 2025 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club is shaping up to be an exciting and challenging event, showcasing the best of the PGA Tour as they battle it out for the season finale and the FedEx Cup title.
