2020 Tour Championship
US PGA Tour
East Lake Golf Club
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
4-7 September 2020
Jon Rahm will be looking to win his first
Tour Championship title when he participates at the East Lake Golf Club this week (4-7 September).
The Spanish star has been in great form this year having won the Memorial Tournament in July.
This win lifted his Official World Golf Ranking to Number One and he was the second Spaniard after Seve Ballesteros to be number one in the world.
However, his reign as the number one golfer lasted two weeks as he was overtaken by Justin Thomas after the American star won the 2020 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

Rahm then won the 2020 BMW Championship at the North Course at Olympia Fields Country Club in Illinois over the weekend.
This was the second tournament of the FedEx Cup Playoffs having shot a 64 in the final round and defeated Dustin Johnson in a playoff by making a 66-foot putt on the 18th hole.
As a result, American star Johnson remained number one in the FedExCup standings while Rahm moved up to number two ahead of this year's Tour Championship.

The 25-year-old Rahm will be hoping to emulate Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), Henrik Stenson (Sweden) and Vijay Singh (Fiji), who are the only non-Americans to won the FedEx Cup thus far.
Rahm reflected on his win at the BMW Championship where he had a lot of fun as he clinched his second title in 2020.

"I knew how good DJ has been playing. I was expecting nothing else," Rahm said.
"I was fully confident it was going to come into a playoff and hoping to win it. Never did I think I would make another 50-, 60-footer, a couple of breaks in there, to end up winning it."
"I would have rather not be in the playoff. If you're going to tell me I'm going to make a 66-footer to win a tournament, I'll take that any day," he added.
"I think we all want the flashy finish, maybe not the stress that comes with it, but I set out with myself to enjoy even the uncomfortable moments we had out there. Man, it was fun."
The 2020 Tour Championship winner will get $15 million and the runner-up is set to receive $5 million.
