The 30 competitors in the 2025 Tour Championship will experience a swift change of pace, as second-round starting times have been adjusted to earlier on Friday due to anticipated severe weather conditions in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The opening duo will commence their second tour at 8 a.m. ET, which marks a three-hour advancement from the initial round’s commencement. The concluding pair, featuring Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley, is slated to begin at 10:44 a.m.
Scheffler strategically positioned himself into the last group at East Lake Golf club with a concluding-hole birdie. He will be alongside his Presidents Cup partner from the previous year, who distinguished himself on Thursday with an impressive opening score of 9-under 61, establishing a two-stroke advantage over the world’s top-ranked player.
Preceding the aforementioned American pair are Patrick Cantlay and Collin Morikawa, set to commence at 10:33 a.m., while Justin Thomas and Robert MacIntyre will precede them onto the course, initiating their round at 10:22 a.m.
Rory McIlroy, a three-time FedEx Cup victor, achieved a birdie on the final hole, marginally delaying his second-round start time. He is scheduled to compete alongside Jacob Bridgeman, a first-time participant in the Tour Championship, at 9:44 a.m.
