Thirty players remaining in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup, but who will win the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club from August 27-30.

Tommy Fleetwood is back to defend his title after a three-stroke victory over Russell Henley and Patrick Cantlay in 2025. 

These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.

Sam Burns


Sam Burns has been in fine form on the PGA Tour lately, placing T4 at the Memorial Tournament, T20 at the RBC Canadian Open, 2nd at the U.S. Open, T12 at the Travelers Championship, 3rd at the Open Championship, T3 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and T28 at the BMW Championship last weekend. 

Other prominent performances achieved by Burns this season include a T6 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a T13 at the Players Championship, a T21 at the Texas Children's Houston Open, a T7 at the Masters, and a T16 at the RBC Heritage.  

The five-time PGA Tour winner has made five appearances at the Tour Championship, finishing T18 in 2021, 24th in 2022, T9 in 2023, T12 in 2024, and T7 in 2025.   

Burns has been knocking hard lately and can go all the way in Atlanta this weekend. 

Tommy Fleetwood


Tommy Fleetwood has been in solid form on the PGA Tour lately, placing T4 at the Memorial Tournament, T11 at the RBC Canadian Open, T11 at the U.S. Open, T14 at the Travelers Championship, T13 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T4 at the Open Championship, and T7 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship before finishing T47 at the BMW Championship last weekend.

Other notable results achieved by Fleetwood this year include a T4 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a T7 at the Genesis Invitational, a T8 at the Players Championship, a T10 at the Valero Texas Open, and a T5 at the Truist Championship.  

The world's fifth-ranked golfer has featured five times at the Tour Championship, finishing T11 in 2018, T16 in 2019, T6 in 2023, and 20th in 2024 before winning the tournament in 2025.  

Fleetwood can convert his recent form into victory at the East Lake Golf Club come Sunday.

Russell Henley has been in decent nick on the PGA Tour in his last five starts, placing T12 at the Travelers Championship, T9 at the Open Championship, T20 at the Rocket Classic, T30 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and T12 at the BMW Championship.
