After the most packed summer calendar of professional golf in recent history, the Tour Championship, the finale to the 2016 PGA Tour season, is upon us.
Last year, Jordan Spieth claimed victory at East Lake Golf Club, and in doing so, the Texan locked up the FedEx Cup. While you'll hear a great deal about the various scenarios for winning and how every golfer in the field has a mathematical chance of securing the cup, the reality is that the Tour Championship winner has taken the cup in each of the past six seasons.
For the 30 golfers in the field, the Tour Championship represents an opportunity to secure a healthy FedEx Cup bonus, finish the season strong and tune up for next week's Ryder Cup.
