ATLANTA — The 2022-23 PGA Tour FedEx Cup season comes to an end this week at East Lake Golf Club.

There's still plenty to settle this weekend, including who's going to take home the FedEx Cup and an $18 million bonus that comes with it. World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler is the No. 1 seed, followed by Norway's Viktor Hovland and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy.

So it's a bit strange, but it should be a fun week.»

There are also a handful of players trying to make an impression on U.S. Ryder Cup team captain Zach Johnson.

The LPGA Tour season continues at the CPKC Open in Canada, where U.S. Solheim Cup captain Stacy Lewis will be competing as well as evaluating the contenders for the final roster spots on her squad.
