With just 18 holes of the 2024 Tour Championship remaining, it's Scottie Scheffler who leads on 26-under-par - five strokes clear of fellow countryman, Collin Morikawa.
Because of the format of the Tour Championship, Scheffler began the tournament at 10-under, two ahead of Xander Schauffele. And, through 54 holes, it's Scheffler who is on course to finish his excellent 2024 season strongly and claim the $25 million first prize.
While Shane Lowry and Viktor Hovland carded the low rounds of the day on Saturday via a 65, Scheffler and Sahith Theegala managed the next best tally. That helped Scheffler build his lead from Morikawa as the other US Olympian carded a 67 to sit on 21-under while Theegala is back on 17-under.
While the race for the title is barely even a two-horse event, much of the chasing pack will be hoping to grab the $7.5 million check for finishing third, with $6 million handed out to fourth and $5 million to fifth. As it stands, Theegala is the man they're all trying to overhaul as Xander Schauffele starts fourth and Wyndham Clark in a tie for fifth alongside Adam Scott.
The Open Champion stumbled his way to a level-par round of 71 on Saturday while Clark and Scott both fired 68.
Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler shake hands on the 18th green at East Lake
Rory McIlroy is back in a share of 10th after beginning the tournament at East Lake on four-under and carding consistent rounds of 69, 69, and 68 so far. The only man to have won the FedEx Cup three times has four top-10 finishes in his past five seasons and will be hopeful of maintaining that record on Sunday.
Below are all 30 players' final-round tee times for the 2024 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, Georgia.
