One Swing Philosophy — What Golf Taught Me About Life

Same Points Game, Very Different Money Game Both the PGA TOUR and LPGA TOUR have a season-long points race. The PGA TOUR has the FedExCup . The LPGA TOUR has the Race to CME Globe . At first, I thought they were basically the same system. But after looking more closely, I realized that the biggest difference is what those points actually lead to. PGA TOUR: Points Can Turn Into Big Money On the PGA TOUR, players earn FedExCup points throughout the season. Then the Playoffs begin: Top 70 ↓ FedEx St. Jude Championship Top 50 ↓ BMW Championship Top 30 ↓ TOUR Championship But there is another important part. The FedExCup standings also determine a separate pool of FedExCup Bonus Money . In 2026, the FedExCup No. 1 receives $22 million in cash plus $1 million deferred , for a total of $23 million in FedExCup bonus money. And that's not the end of the money story. The TOUR Championship has its own $40 million purse , with $10 million going to the winner . So on the PGA TOUR, the points r...

The 2026 TOUR Championship is over. And once again, Scottie Scheffler showed why he is World No. 1.

The third round is almost over, and Viktor Hovland has taken the solo lead! A birdie on the final hole moved him to 15-under par . What a finish! 🔥 ⛳ Top Players After Round 3 순위 선수 3R 종료 스코어 🥇 1 Viktor Hovland -15 🥈 2 Ryan Gerard -13 🥉 3  Scottie Scheffler -12 T-3 Adam Scott -12 T-5 Cameron Young -11 T-7 Rory McIlroy -10 T-10 Min Woo Lee -8 T-12 Tom Kim -7 T-14 Si Woo Kim -6 — Robert MacIntyre 3R 7-under A Few Things I Noticed Today Scottie Scheffler showed why he is World No. 1. After Round 2, he immediately went back to the practice area, even with everyone watching. Today, he bounced back strongly. Min Woo Lee also recovered nicely after a difficult second round and moved back toward the Top 10. Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim are still in the mix, too. And Robert MacIntyre had an incredible round, shooting 7-under par today . Although his tee time was listed as a solo pairing, he actually played alongside the club champion, who adjusted his pace to match the professional's rh...

The second round of the 2026 TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club is over. And what a day it was! The leaderboard changed dramatically, but more than the scores, a few moments really caught my attention. ⛳️ Cameron Young — What a Day! Cameron Young was the first player to tee off this morning — all by himself. No playing partner. Just Cameron Young and his golf. And he shot an incredible 8-under 62 . Even more impressive, he finished his round with an eagle on the 18th hole . After making the eagle, he jokingly shook hands with his imaginary playing partner. 😂 I watched that moment, and he looked so relaxed. No partner. No pressure. Just golf. Starting the day at even par, Young moved all the way up to T5 at 8-under par . Sometimes golf gives us the most interesting stories when we least expect them. ⛳️ Ryan Gerard Takes the Lead Ryan Gerard played another excellent round and finished at 10-under par , taking the solo lead after 36 holes. Behind him: T2 Viktor Hovland — -9 T2 Coll...

2026 TOUR Championship – Round 1 East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta The first round of the 2026 TOUR Championship is officially in the books, and what a surprise at the top! Min Woo Lee is leading the field at 8-under par with a stunning 62. And he did it without a single bogey. Eight birdies. Zero bogeys. A career-low tying 62 . Not a bad way to make your TOUR Championship debut. 😊 Min Woo Lee, the 28-year-old Australian, entered the tournament ranked No. 21 in the FedExCup standings and is playing in the TOUR Championship for the first time. Even more interesting? He was playing solo for most of the round after his playing partner, J.J. Spaun, withdrew because of a shoulder injury after four holes. And somehow, Lee just kept going. 8-under. 62. Bogey-free. That is a serious opening round. Meanwhile, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler opened with a solid 4-under 66 . Scheffler didn't make a single bogey either, but Lee's eight-birdie performance put him four shots ahead after Round 1....

When I started looking into the 2026 TOUR Championship, I became curious about something beyond the golf itself. How much money does each player actually receive at East Lake?
