2022 Tour Championship tee times: Round 1 pairings for Thursday

The 2022 Tour Championship kicks off Thursday, August 25, at East Lake in Atlanta, Ga.. You can find full Round 1 tee times for the tournament at the bottom of this post.

Featured pairing for Round 1

Ever since March, when he captured his third of four wins on the season at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, Scottie Scheffler has ruled the men’s pro golf world as No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking. So it’s only appropriate that he leads the FedEx Cup standings heading into the finale at the Tour Championship.

Fittingly, last year’s FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay sits in second place as the pair, along with 27 other top-rankled pros, go to battle over 72 holes at East Lake for the $18 million grand prize.

Cantlay, who won last week’s BMW Championship to rise in the rankings, and Scheffler, who finished T3 at the BMW, will tee off for the opening round in the final pairing at 2:05 p.m. ET. You can stream Thursday’s first round via PGA Tour Live on ESPN+.
