PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan got the Roger Goodell treatment on Sunday night.

Goodell, the longtime commissioner of the NFL, is often booed when he speaks at events like the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony or the NFL Draft. Monahan got the same response when he stepped to the mic to introduce Viktor Hovland as the winner of the 2023 Tour Championship and the PGA Tour’s season-long race for the FedEx Cup.

The commissioner recently returned to work after taking some time off to deal with a health issue, but did give his annual State of the PGA Tour press conference ahead of this week’s season finale at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Monahan addressed his health but was silent on the pending deal between the Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

The final round was suspended shortly after the last group teed off.

Shortly after the last group teed off on Sunday afternoon the 2023 Tour Championship was suspended.

At 1.57 p.m. ET the final round of the PGA Tour’s season finale was suspended due to inclement weather. Viktor Hovland, the 54-hole leader, held a six-shot advantage at 21 under over Xander Schauffele when the horn was blown at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

At the time of the delay, all 30 players were on the course. The first group off, featuring Taylor Moore and Emiliano Grillo, is through 15 holes, while the last group of Hovland and Schauffele is currently on No. 2.

On Saturday the third round of the Tour Championship was delayed for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The Tour announced the range would open at 3:15 p.m. ET and play would resume at 3:50 p.m. ET, ending the 1 hour and 53 minute delay.

Check the yardage book: East Lake for the 2023 Tour Championship

StrackaLine offers a hole-by-hole course guide for East Lake Golf Club.

East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta – site of the PGA Tour’s 2023 Tour Championship and the finale in the FedEx Cup Playoffs – originally was designed by Tom Bendelow and opened in 1908. Donald Ross redesigned the layout in 1913, and Rees Jones worked on the course in 1994.

Architect Andrew Green will begin another renovation, with a goal of returning many of the Ross features to East Lake, soon after the last putt drops in the Tour Championship.

East Lake ranks No. 5 on Golfweek’s Best 2023 list of top private clubs in Georgia, and it’s No. 92 on the list of top classic courses built before 1960 in the U.S.

The course will play to 7,346 yards and a par of 70 for the Tour Championship. Nos. 1 and 14 normally play as par 5s for members, but they will be listed as par 4s for the Tour Championship with only Nos. 6 and 18 playing as par 5s.

Thanks to yardage books provided by StrackaLine – the maker of detailed yardage books for thousands of courses around the world – we can see exactly the challenges the players face this week.

2023 Tour Championship odds, course history and picks to win

Let’s finish the season with another outright winner.

We’ve arrived at the final event of the 2022-23 PGA Tour season, the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta. The top 30 in the point standings have made their way to the ATL ready to battle for the $18 million FedEx Cup bonus awarded to the winner.

After his co-runner-up finish at the BMW Championship, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will begin the tournament at 10 under, two shots clear of the man in the No. 2 spot, Viktor Hovland. Rory McIlroy, who has now finished T-9 or better in nine straight starts after a solo fourth at Olympia Fields, will begin three back at 7 under, while Jon Rahm starts at 6 under.

McIlroy chased down Scheffler last year to claim his third FedEx Cup, the only player who has achieved that feat (Tiger Woods and McIlroy are the only two players to win it more than once).

Will Zalatoris withdraws from Tour Championship at East Lake, won’t play in Presidents Cup

Will Zalatoris is No. 3 in the FedEx Cup standings and No. 7 in the Presidents Cup standings.

During the third round of the BMW Championship last week, Will Zalatoris suffered an injury on the third hole. After a short visit from the PGA Tour physio, which included various stretches, Zalatoris decided to withdraw.

Not long after leaving the course, his agent released a statement that ended with “Will looks forward to playing next week in Atlanta.”

That is no longer happening.

World No. 9 has withdrawn from the Tour Championship and a chance to win the FedEx Cup and $18 million. He was in prime position to do so, sitting at No. 3 and set to start a 7 under, just three shots behind Scottie Scheffler.

On top of missing the event at East Lake, Zalatoris will not play in next month’s Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club.

The injury is now being classified as two herniated disks.

Zalatoris wasn’t one of the six automatic qualifiers for the United States team, but he’s currently No. 7 in the standings and was expected to be one of Captain Davis Love III’s six captains picks.

Patrick Cantlay outlasts Jon Rahm to win Tour Championship, $15 million FedEx Cup title

Cantlay won the Tour Championship after a 1-under 69 on Sunday at East Lake.

Patrick Cantlay entered the final round of the Tour Championship with a two-shot lead and he left on Sunday with some more hardware and a massive payday.

The 29-year-old shot 1-under 69 to win the final event of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs and claim the season-long title, earning him the $15 million top prize. World No. 1 Jon Rahm finished one shot back in second after a final round 2-under 68, worth $5 million.

The win is Cantlay’s sixth on the PGA Tour and second in as many weeks after he claimed the BMW Championship via a six-hole playoff with Bryson DeChambeau just seven days ago.

Meanwhile, Patrick Cantlay will sleep on a two-shot lead over Jon Rahm. Cantlay birdied his last hole for a 67 and is at 20 under. Rahm shot a 68 and is 18 under. Justin Thomas bogeyed his last hole for a 65, so he will start Sunday’s round five shots back of the lead.
