Dates: Aug. 24-27
Course, location: East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta
Defending champion: Rory McIlroy
Field: Top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings
Players who make it to East Lake earn two-year exemptions on Tour, an invitation to the Masters and, most likely, invitations to the U.S. Open and Open (those two events have yet to release their exemption criteria for 2024).
Purse: $75 million; $18 million to the winner.
The winner in Atlanta receives a five-year Tour exemption and an $18 million FedEx Cup prize. The runner-up earns $6.5 million, while last place gets $500,000. A nice guaranteed paycheck to end the season. The money earned at the Tour Championship is considered “bonus” money and is not part of the calculation to determine the season-long money title. But it spends just the same.
