The Tour Championship Sunday tee times are set for the final round at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The FedEx Cup title and a $10 million first-place check are on the line as the PGA Tour season comes to a close on Sunday, August 30.

Min Woo Lee has been the story of the week so far after opening with a bogey-free 62. The field is down to 29 players after J.J. Spaun withdrew during the first round with an injury. Here is everything you need for the final day, including the latest Tour Championship Sunday tee times, pairings and broadcast details.

  • 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET: Golf Channel / ESPN+
  • 1:30 – 6:00 p.m. ET: NBC / Paramount+

What’s at Stake This Week

The 2026 Tour Championship carries a $40 million purse. The winner takes home $10 million and the FedEx Cup trophy. Second place pays $5 million, third is just over $3.7 million, and the rest of the top 10 still earns well into six figures. Even players finishing near the bottom of the 30-man field walk away with substantial checks.

Tommy Fleetwood won the event and the FedEx Cup in 2025. Scottie Scheffler claimed the title in 2024, and Viktor Hovland won in 2023. Rory McIlroy already owns three career FedEx Cup titles and remains one of the more dangerous players in the field on Sunday.

Quick Background on East Lake

East Lake Golf Club has hosted the Tour Championship every year since 2004. The course is familiar to most of the players in the field, and the conditions this week have been firm and relatively straightforward. The focus remains pure stroke play among the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings after the earlier playoff events.

What to Expect on Sunday

The final round of the Tour Championship usually produces movement over the closing holes. With several major winners still in the mix and Min Woo Lee trying to hold off the chasing pack, the afternoon groups on the East Lake tee times list should provide the main interest.

Weather in Atlanta is expected to be warm and playable. The last groups will be finishing in the early evening window on the East Coast, which lines up well with the NBC broadcast window.
