The third and final event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs takes place with the Tour Championship at East Lake as the top 30 in the standings compete for the trophy and a first prize of $25m.
Unlike other PGA Tour events, the position of the 30 in the standings determines their starting scores, and World No.1 Scottie Scheffler begins in the lead on 10-under, two ahead of Xander Schauffele.
Given that, they have not only been paired for the opening round of the tournament, but they are also the last to head out, with the duo getting started at 2.00pm EDT (7.00pm BST).
Before that, another notable pairing sees the 2023 winner of the FedEx Cup, Viktor Hovland, alongside Russell Henley. They begin at 12.27pm EDT (5.27pm BST), with the two starting eight off the leader.
Viktor Hovland is the defending champion
One of the most eye-catching pairings is undoubtedly three-time FedEx Cup winner Rory McIlroy and World No.4 Ludvig Aberg. McIlroy is five-under and Aberg four-under at the start, and they begin at 1.38pm EDT (6.38pm BST).
Another duo to look out for sees Keegan Bradley alongside the winner of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Hideki Matsuyama. Bradley only just scraped into last week's BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorada, but his victory saw him leap to fourth in the standings.
Keegan Bradley is fourth in the FedEx Cup standings
Matsuyama, who withdrew from the BMW Championship with injury, starts three off the lead, with Bradley needing to claw back four shots on Scheffler. They begin at 1.49pm EDT (6.49pm BST).
