Things are slightly different this week, as Scottie Scheffler will start at -10, with six players starting at even par, and the rest of the 30-man field occupying the spots in between.
This handicap start can certainly lead to excitement, and whilst the expectation is that the leader at the start of the week can cruise to victory, it doesn't tend to play out that way.
The player with the second most points starts at −8, the third at −7, the fourth at -6, and the fifth at −5, and so on. This means that at least these top five players have an excellent shot of winning the Tour Championship.
In 2020, Xander Schauffele shot the lowest gross score of the week, but as he started in 14th, he finished 3 shots shy of Dustin Johnson, who played well enough to preserve his lead from the start of the week.
In 2021, Patrick Cantlay also held on to the lead he had at the start of the week, but in both 2019 and 2022, Rory McIlroy made up the necessary strokes to win the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup overall.
When Rory won in 2019, he started five strokes behind Justin Thomas at the start of the week and won by four. In 2022 he started six strokes back and won by one over Sungjae Im and Scheffler, the latter of who started the week two clear of the field.
This is all to say that there will definitely be some movement on the leaderboard this week, and you should definitely factor in players who are used to playing well at East Lake, as there are definitely top 5 spots up for grabs for players who excel, even if from further down the chasing pack.
Three Players Who Can Post a Top 5 Finish at the Tour Championship
Lets ignore the current top five, which is Scheffler, Hovland, McIlroy, Rahm and Glover, and see who else could break into the top five places this week and still a spot from those that start the week there.
Xander Schauffele - Xander Schauffele won the Tour Championship in 2017, under its original format, and in 2020 he shot the lowest gross score. Schaufelle has never been outside the top 7 in this event, and should be factored into your top 5 this week. He will start two shots back of Lucas Glover in 5th, at -3.
Russell Henley - Russell Henley finished 8th last week, and in this tournament he's finished 3rd and 12th, both before the format change. His 3rd in 2017 is a clear indication he can play this course well, and he too will start just two back of 5th place alongside Xander at -3.
Max Homa - Max Homa will start just one shot back of 5th place this week at -4, and last year finished 5th in gross scoring over the 72 holes. He is bang in form, and is a live contender to win this week, even with the handicap.
