After 36 holes at East Lake Golf Club, it's Scottie Scheffler who leads, with the American sitting at 21-under-par and four shots clear of fellow countryman, Collin Morikawa.
Because of the format of the Tour Championship, Scheffler did begin the tournament at 10-under, two ahead of Xander Schauffele and, through 36 holes, it's Scheffler who is on course to finish his excellent 2024 season strongly, as the World No.1 is in pole position to scoop the $25 million first prize.
As mentioned, Morikawa is Scheffler's nearest challenger, as the two-time Major winner fired a round of the week 63 on Friday to move to 17-under. One shot back of Morikawa is Schauffele, who carded an impressive 64 himself to be 16-under.
Going into Saturday, it's clear that a three horse race is forming between Scheffler, Morikawa and Schauffele, with Sahith Theegala, Wyndham Clark and Adam Scott sat in a share of fourth spot at 12-under.
All three are nine behind going into the weekend and will need to go low to form any sort of challenge to the leaders. Rounding out the top 10 is Sam Burns at 11-under, whilst Tony Finau and Hideki Matsuyama are nine-under, some 11 shots back off the lead.
