PGA Tour Championship 2022: golf tournament schedule, format, players, dates, latest odds, FedEx Cup standings

The 2021/22 winner of the FedEx Cup will be determined later this month with the final PGA Tour event of the golf season.

The Tour Championship, which is the final event of the FedEx Cup play-offs, returns to the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta to bring the curtain down on the 107th edition of the PGA Tour.

The event has a unique format with a far reduced field of players compared to what fans of major tournaments would normally be used to seeing.

Here is everything you need to know about the 2022 PGA Tour Championship including the format, field, dates, odds and FedEx Cup standings going into the four days of action:

When is the 2022 PGA Tour Championship?

The Tour Championship takes place from Thursday, August 25 to Sunday, August 28 at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

The 2021/22 PGA Tour began in September 2021 with the Fortinet Championship in California and has made its way across North America and Europe to reach its conclusion this month.

Across the 11 months of action there have also been the four ‘major championships’ and several other high profile events.

Tour Championship format and participants

Following the conclusion of the BMW Championship at Wilmington Country Club in Delaware earlier this month, which was won by Patrick Cantlay, the top 30 players in the FedEX Cup standings qualified for the Tour Championship.

Going into the event, the leaderboard will represent the final standings and the FedEx cup winner will be determined at the end of play.

As explained on the official PGA website: “The FedExCup points leader after the first two Playoffs events will begin the TOUR Championship at 10-under par. The No. 2 player will start at 8 under. The No. 3 player starts at 7 under; the No. 4 player starts at 6 under; the No. 5 player starts at 5 under. Players 6-10 start at 4 under; players 11-15 start at 3 under; players 16-20 start at 2 under; players 21-25 start at 1 under; and players 26-30 start at even par.”
