ATLANTA -- Starting strokes are out at this week's Tour Championship, in which $40 million will be on the line at East Lake Golf Club.
It's back to a level playing field, with all 30 golfers in the field starting at even par Thursday.
Even world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, who won in half of his past five starts, including last week's BMW Championship.
Unlike last year, when Scheffler started two strokes ahead of the field before winning his first FedEx Cup, he won't have an advantage this week.
"Any one of the 30 has a chance to win the FedEx Cup this year, which is obviously a lot different than it's been in previous years," Masters winner Rory McIlroy said.
