PGA Tour : Tour Championship Tee Times
The top 30 have arrived at the East Lake GC in suburban Atlanta, each one has ticked that box including Corey Conners making his 4th appearance, his 3rd straight, this time at #19, and first timer Nick Taylor a reward in part for that 75 footer in the playoff to win the RBC Canadian Open.
They use the Staggered Strokes format to reward each player for their play over the season, For example Scottie Scheffler ranked #1 begins play -10, Viktor Hovland ranked #2 begins at -8. Rory #3 -7, Rahm #4 -6 and Glover #5 at -5.
Players #6-10 at -4, players 11-15 at -3, players 16-20 at -2, players 21-25 at -1 and players 26-30 at even par.
Conners will start at -2, Taylor at -1. Finally their starting times are in reverse order, with Scheffler and Hovland in the final pairing.. See my Tee Times link above.
