The TOUR Championship is the official final tournament on the golf PGA TOUR season. This is one of the richest tournaments on the PGA Tour, with the world's best shot makers all on hand chasing this coveted title. The TOUR Championship has been around since 1987 and starting in 1997, the Championship was held in different places, either at Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas, or at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. East Lake Club became the golf tournaments permanent residence in 2004.
The Tour Championship presented by Coca-Cola was historically the final event of golf's PGA Tour season. Since 2007, it has been the final event of the FedEx Cup, the competition for the first official championship trophy for the PGA Tour season.
The top 30 money winners on the PGA Tour will qualify for the event, and it takes place when no other big events are going on in either the U.S. or Europe and there will be no cut. This is to enable players who belong to both the PGA and European Tour to compete in both of the season-ending matches.
This means you are going to see the top golfers on the PGA Tour at the peak of the season. That equates to tight competition, fabulous shots, a constantly shifting leaderboard and exciting finishes. There are only two men to have won THE TOUR Championship more than once - Tiger Woods (1999, 2007) and Phil Mickelson (2000, 2009).

THE TOUR Championship Golf Betting Tips
Generally sports fans have their favorite teams or players. Therefore, when sports bettors place a sports bet, it's a common thing to see that sports wager go on their favorite team or player. In team sports like baseball or football it's easier to justify bets being placed on favorite teams like the Yankees or the Patriots because they play as a unit, and no single person is solely responsible for the outcome of the game based on their own individual performance.
However, in a sport like golf, betting on your favorite golfers can be a very costly endeavor. Unlike team sports, in golf the outcome is entirely based on individual performance and the golfer is the one making the swings, even his caddie says something different the player is the one who makes the final decision.

2010 The Tour Championship Results
 The biggest shot of his career gave Jim Furyk the biggest payoff in golf.
Clinging to a one-shot lead, with a $10 million bonus riding on the outcome, Furyk nearly holed a bunker shot and knocked in the 2-foot par putt he had left to win the Tour Championship and capture a FedEx Cup that came down to the very last hole Sunday.
Furyk closed with an even-par 70 for a one-shot victory over Luke Donald in a steady rain at East Lake.
Donald, who chipped in from 100 feet for birdie on the 17th hole to keep his hopes alive, was waiting in the scoring trailer when Furyk hit his hybrid on the 230-yard closing hole into the bunker. A bogey would mean a sudden-death playoff to decide the FedEx Cup.
It was the 16th career victory for Furyk, but none that ended like this.
When he rapped in his short par putt with his hat turned backward, he plucked the ball out of the cup, just like always. Then, he dropped his putter and turned toward the grandstand with a powerful thrust of his fist and screamed with delight.
Furyk earned $1.35 million for winning the tournament, and $10 million from the FedEx Cup. He moves to No. 5 in the world ranking.
2009 The Tour Championship Results
 Phil Mickelson won The Tour Championship and $1.35 million on Sunday — and was ecstatic. Tiger Woods won the FedExCup playoffs and $10 million — and was a tad disappointed.
So it was when a wild and wacky back nine came to an end in the final round of The Tour Championship and the final lap of the FedExCup playoffs. On historic East Lake Golf Club's last nine holes, with countless playoff scenarios in play and enough mind-boggling numbers crunching to make any accountant's head spin, six players had legitimate chances of winning the playoffs' grand prize of $10 million.
Mickelson delivered his third win of the year. He shot a bogey-free, 5-under-par 65 under sunny skies to finish at 9-under 271 to beat Woods by three shots and wind up in second place in the playoffs. Despite his runner-up finish, Woods, who closed with a 70, claimed his second FedExCup title.
