Overview

• All players will begin at even par under the restored 72-hole stroke-play format, ending the starting-strokes system used from 2019 to 2024.
• East Lake plays as a par 70 after the 14th was returned to a par four, with SubAir-firm greens and a setup designed to create more risk/reward and keep scores closer to par.
• Pairings and tee times follow the FedEx Cup order, placing Scottie Scheffler with Rory McIlroy for the first two rounds in a 30-player, no-cut field.
• The purse totals $40 million, including $10 million to the winner, as players make a final on-course case before Ryder Cup teams are named next week.
• Reporting indicates the Tour has discussed relocating the finale from its long-time East Lake home in future years, though no decision has been made.
