From Nick Borrman:
The PGA TOUR season wraps up this week at East Lake as the FedexCup Playoffs come to an end with the TOUR Championship.
As has been the case the last four seasons, starting strokes are in play once again this season which sees Scottie Scheffler (-10) sitting two strokes above everyone else to start the tournament.
I'm not going to reference the full list and their starting strokes. You can find that just about anywhere on the interweb.
East Lake has hosted the TOUR Championship every year since 2005. It plays to a par-70 just like each of the first two playoff events, with a total yardage of over 7,300 yards.
Rough is long like we saw last week at the BMW Championship and the greens are very undulating and generally require experience to master.
The two par-5s at East Lake measured as the 2nd easiest set on TOUR last season averaging 4.31 so birdies on those two holes are a must and length will always help that.
Speaking of length, seven of the last eight winners finished in the Top-6 for SG Off the Tee for the week. Of course, you need to roll the rock as well which five of the last six winners have finished in the Top-5 for SG Putting as well.
