PGA TOUR Championship Launches with Even-Par Format

The PGA Tour Championship gets underway at East Lake with a refreshed format: all 30 golfers begin at even par, eliminating staggered start strokes and leveling the playing field. Defending FedEx Cup winner Scottie Scheffler remains the front-runner, paired early with Rory McIlroy, fueling match-play intensity from round one. With a massive $40 million purse and $10 million going to the champion, stakes have never been higher. Course setup has been tightened to challenge the field and entertain fans. This final major of the PGA season will play a vital role in shaping Ryder Cup selections and golf narratives into fall.
