Tour Championship LEADERBOARD: Tiger Woods leads, Rory McIlroy in the running

The PGA Tour Championship takes place at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta this week.

30 golfers are competing for the $ 30m in prize money between the Tour Championship purse and FedEx Cup bonuses.

The FedEx Cup kicks in on Thursday afternoon.

Tiger Woods, who recently revealed he’s exceeded his expectations this year, is making his first appearance since 2013.

Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Rose, Tony Finau, Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas are the top five in the FedEx Cup standings heading into the Tour Championship.

Speaking about his expectations this season after reaching the Tour Championship, Tiger Woods said: “I think the season itself has been amazing.

“To be able to have played this well after coming off of what I came off of.

“I didn’t know how many tournaments I’d play in, and next thing you know, here I am in the Tour Championship.

“There’s some guys that can’t say they’ve accomplished that, have got into the Tour Championship, but to have come back from where I’ve come back from and to get here has been a pretty tall order and something I’m proud of.

“Put it this way, I’ve exceeded most of them. The beginning of the year was such an unknown, I didn’t know if I would be able to make it to Florida and to play the Florida Swing.

“I said, ‘let’s just start out at Torrey and see how it goes’. Then I added Tampa in there because I missed the cut in LA. And just to have that opportunity to be able to add a tournament, I thought I was going to be taking tournaments away.

“But to have added a couple and to have earned my way into Akron, those are some things that, when I look at this year more, I’ve exceeded a lot of my expectations and goals because so much of it was an unknown.”
