We're on to Round 2 of the Tour Championship, one step closer to dishing out $10 million and the FedEx Cup to close out the 2026 PGA Tour season.
Min Woo Lee enters today's round at East Lake with a two-stroke lead after a bogey-free first round
of 8-under 62. Viktor Hovland, the 2023 champion, comes in tied for second alongside 2024 runner-up Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup, a three-time winner on tour this season.World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Åberg, Akshay Bhatia and Ryan Gerard all sit three shots behind Lee while defending champ Tommy Fleetwood and last-minute invite Gary Woodland aren't far behind. Rory McIlroy sank four birdies in the back nine but is six off the lead as he seeks to build on his record three Tour Championship
wins.
