When it comes to sports, many often associate the postseason with the NFL playoffs, October baseball, or the College Football Playoff. However, golf has its own postseason, and the PGA Tour playoffs have actually been around since 2007. It’s called the FedEx Cup and consists of three tournaments, with the field reducing with each event.

The first two have already taken place, with the final—the 2024 Tour Championship—beginning on Thursday and ending on Sunday. It takes place at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and the victor of the Tour Championship will also be the FedEx Cup champion, in addition to walking away with the $25 million winner’s share.
