2026 Tour Championship leaderboard updates for Thursday's first-round at East Lake
For all the Thursday first-round live updates from East Lake at the Tour Championship, keep it right here with Golfweek.
The 2026 Tour Championship is underway at East Lake, marking the third and final event of the PGA Tour season's FedEx Cup Playoffs. With 30 players competing, the tournament offers a $10 million first-place prize, with top eight finishers earning seven figure payouts. Last place still yields $355,000 in prize money. This is the 20th year of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and no one has won the Tour Championship in consecutive years, making the possibility of Tommy Fleetwood becoming the first to achieve this feat particularly exciting.
The tournament began with a tee time of 11 a.m. ET for the first pairings, concluding at 2 p.m. ET with the final group starting. The field includes world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who recently battled a contagious virus but is now feeling better. ESPN, Golf Channel, PGA Tour Live on ESPN+, and Sirius XM will all be broadcasting the event, with coverage running from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. ET.
For the latest live updates, Golfweek will provide real-time coverage throughout the four-day event.
