Scheffler is five shots behind co-leaders Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley, which is one shot worse than he was after 36 holes last week at the BMW Championship. He won that event by two strokes.

Russell Henley ran wild around East Lake Golf Club in the first round of the 2025 Tour Championship, and in the process, he ran to the top of the leaderboard in the final leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

The PGA Tour has returned to Atlanta and East Lake Golf Club for its season-ending Tour Championship. It's offering a $40 million purse, with $10 million to the winner.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler entered Friday's second round of the Tour Championship in prime position, but now has work to do if he wants another FedEx Cup.

Fleetwood's 7-under 63 pulled him even with first-round leader Henley as the pair head into the weekend with the FedEx Cup and one big check at stake.

The 2025 Tour Championship will begin on Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and Scottie Scheffler will be seeking his second consecutive title after besting Collin Morikawa by four shots last season.

That is what makes his position at the Tour Championship so intriguing. With a round of 63 on Friday, Fleetwood moved into a share of the lead at East Lake and is halfway to claiming not only his first PGA Tour title but also the $10 million FedEx Cup prize.

Keegan Bradley is in the hunt for his first FedEx Cup at the Tour Championship, but his mind is elsewhere with the Ryder Cup looming.
