published 22 August 2025

The second round of the Tour Championship will start earlier than usual due to some inclement weather due around the Atlanta region.

Thunderstorms could play a part for the remaining three days of the PGA Tour finale at East Lake, so as a precaution the 30-man field is being sent out early on Friday.

The first tee time for Friday's second round will now be at 08.44am ET with groups teeing off until the leaders go out at 10.44am.

Russell Henley leads the way after his sparkling nine-under round of 61 on Thursday, but World No.1 Scottie Scheffler is inevitably right behind him on seven under and will play in the final group.

Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas also had welcome bursts of form with the Ryder Cup approaching as they all shot 64 - as did European duo Robert MacIntyre and Ludvig Aberg.

Rory McIlroy shot 66 to sit five shots off Henley's lead.

The leaderboard makes much easier reading this year as unlike previous tournaments there are no starting strokes in place.

So all 30 men in the field started the week on level par, with a straight 72-hole tournament deciding who takes home the iconic trophy and pockets the $10m bonus money.

How to watch the Tour Championship

Round two: ESPN+ 8am/Golf Channel 10am-3pm.

Paul Higham is a sports journalist with over 20 years of experience in covering most major sporting events for both Sky Sports and BBC Sport. He is currently freelance and covers the golf majors on the BBC Sport website. Highlights over the years include covering that epic Monday finish in the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and watching Rory McIlroy produce one of the most dominant Major wins at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. He also writes betting previews and still feels strangely proud of backing Danny Willett when he won the Masters in 2016 - Willett also praised his putting stroke during a media event before the Open at Hoylake. Favourite interviews he's conducted have been with McIlroy, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Rickie Fowler and the enigma that is Victor Dubuisson. A big fan of watching any golf from any tour, sadly he spends more time writing about golf than playing these days with two young children, and as a big fair weather golfer claims playing in shorts is worth at least five shots. Being from Liverpool he loves the likes of Hoylake, Birkdale and the stretch of tracks along England's Golf Coast, but would say his favourite courses played are Kingsbarns and Portrush.
