FedEx Cup Playoffs: Tour Championship live updates, Round 4 highlights

Heading into the fourth round of the 2025 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood are tied for the lead at 16-under-par.

Cantlay is seeking his second FedEx Cup playoff title after winning the Tour Championship by one stroke in 2021. Fleetwood is attempting to collect his first career PGA Tour win and is hoping to finally get over the hump this weekend after squandering two opportunities in recent months. He blew a two-stroke lead with four holes to go at the Travelers Championship in June and another two-stroke advantage with three to go at the FedEx St. Jude in Memphis just two weeks ago.

Lurking on the Tour Championship leaderboard are Russell Henley (-14), Keegan Bradley (-13) and reigning FedEx Cup champ Scottie Scheffler (-12).

Here’s what to know for Sunday’s Round 4 action at the Tour Championship, the final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs:

Hole No. 2: Tommy Fleetwood stands alone at the top

A three-shot swing on the second hole has Tommy Fleetwood atop the leaderboard two shots clear of the field.

Fleetwood became the only golfer of the day to birdie the par-3, 208-yard second hole when he stuck his tee shot to within 20 feet and nailed the putt to get to 17-under par for the tournament.

Meanwhile, third-round co-leader Patrick Cantlay got off to a disastrous start, bogeying the opening hole to fall one shot back, and then taking a double-bogey 5 on the second when he missed the green off the tee and three-putted.

Russell Henley is now in second place at -15.

Can Scottie Scheffler mount another final-round rally?

If anyone is going to come from off the pace to win the Tour Championship, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is the most likely one to do it.

Scheffler has made a habit of staging similar comebacks, such as last week at the BMW Championship — when he started the final round four shots behind Robert MacIntyre, but took the lead for good on the seventh hole and won by two.

Scheffler’s round didn’t get off to an optimal start when he hit his tee shot out of bounds to the right on No. 1. However, after a perfect second drive in the fairway, he hit an approach to three feet and nailed the butt for bogey.

What are the playing conditions Sunday at East Lake?

The 2½ inches of rain that’s pounded the Atlanta area over the past several days has resulted in soggy conditions throughout the Tour Championship. Mowers haven’t been able to cut the fairways for three consecutive days so golfers once again will play what’s called ‘preferred lies’ where they can lift, clean and place their balls in the fairway.

Greens are running at 13½ on the Stimpmeter, according to PGA Tour rules analyst Mark Dusbabek.

How is the weather Sunday at East Lake Golf Club?

It should be a very comfortable afternoon for golf at East Lake Golf Club outside Atlanta. The AccuWeather forecast for Sunday calls for warm temperatures with intervals of clouds and sunshine.

Look for a high temperature around 85 degrees with winds 5-10 mph out of the northwest. Chance of precipitation is 25%.

What time does the Tour Championship begin today?

The 2025 Tour Championship concludes Sunday, Aug. 24. The first tee time on Sunday is 11 a.m. ET, with broadcast coverage also starting at 11 a.m. ET.
