East Lake is abuzz as the season’s climax approaches, with discussions extending far beyond the upcoming event itself. The much-anticipated merger between the PGA Tour and European DP World Tour is on the horizon, poised to be formalized in the coming weeks. However, the specific contours of this union remain veiled in uncertainty, prompting contemplation on its implications for the renowned Ryder Cup.

Rory McIlroy, a four-time major champion, remained guarded in his remarks but acknowledged the imminent transformation of the global golf landscape. “The future holds unknowns, and the form of the merger remains a mystery,” he mused. “Clarity on this awaits the unveiling through the forthcoming press release.”

Solheim Cup: Team USA preps for biennial battle against Euros

The 17th Solheim Cup gets underway Friday at Gleneagles in Scotland: Team USA vs. Team Europe and bragging rights as the top women’s golf continent. Team USA has won the past two matches, but the Europeans lead the all-time series 10-6-1.

Much of the attention this week will be on Team USA’s lineup: Captain Stacy Lewis made three captain’s picks (Angel Yin, Mina Harigae and Ally Ewing) who are making their debuts. For Harigae, it will also be her first time playing in Europe.

“It’s definitely going to be different,” Harigae said. “But I feel like our team is going to help us get acclimated and be prepared for it, and just feed off the energy of each other.”

Europe is making one captain’s pick as well: England’s Charley Hull, who played on the victorious 2019 team.

5 things Scottie Scheffler revealed in Tour Championship beatdown | Monday Finish

Scottie Scheffler’s victory at the Tour Championship made for a captivating climax to the FedEx Cup season. Here are five things we learned from his dominant performance:

  1. His putting is improved: Scheffler has always been a great ball-striker, but his putting has often held him back. However, he has made significant strides with the flat stick this year, and it showed at East Lake.
  1. He’s a mentally tough player: Scheffler never seemed to get rattled during the Tour Championship, even when Rory McIlroy made a late charge.
  1. He’s a great frontrunner: Scheffler held the lead for the final three rounds, and he never let it slip away. This shows that he has the ability to close out tournaments under pressure.
  1. He’s hungry for more: Scheffler has already accomplished a lot in his career, but he’s not satisfied yet. He wants to keep winning, and he has the talent to do it.

How the final 2024 Tour Championship leaderboard looks without starting strokes

Tour Championship Leaderboard Without Starting Strokes

The final leaderboard for the 2024 Tour Championship at East Lake has been released, and it shows a different picture than the one we saw on Sunday. Without the staggered starting strokes, Scottie Scheffler would have won the tournament by two strokes over Patrick Cantlay. Will Zalatoris would have finished third, followed by Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy.

The change in the leaderboard is due to the fact that the starting strokes format gives an advantage to the players who finished higher in the FedEx Cup standings. This year, the top five players in the standings started the tournament with a two-shot lead over the rest of the field.

The staggered starting strokes format has been used at the Tour Championship since 2019, and it has been controversial from the start. Some players have argued that it gives an unfair advantage to the top players in the standings, while others have said that it makes the tournament more exciting.
