After months of action, the PGA Tour’s season comes to an end at the Tour Championship, where 30 players will battle it out for the $40 million tournament purse.
Last year, Tommy Fleetwood claimed his first PGA Tour victory via a three stroke win, with the Englishman taming East Lake Golf Club to produce one of the feel-good stories of the year.
For 2026, Fleetwood returns after finishing ninth in the FedEx Cup standings, with the defending champion one of the headliners in a field that contains Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
Like any golf course, to excel at East Lake you need a good all-round game but, interestingly, Fleetwood’s victory in 2025 went against the grain in terms of statistics off the tee.
Since 2021, when Patrick Cantlay lifted the coveted title, every player has ranked inside the top five when it comes to Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, with Viktor Hovland and Scheffler leading the statistic for their wins in 2023 and 2024.
When it comes to Fleetwood, though, he bucked the trend with numbers that had him 23rd in the 30-man field.
In fact, over the four rounds in Atlanta, Georgia, the Ryder Cup star lost over a shot off the tee, with the putter saving Fleetwood, as he gained eight shots to rank first in that aspect.

But despite that, driving is still a crucial skill to have at East Lake and will play a key role in success at the Tour Championship, which is why we have taken a look at what drivers the world’s best will be using off the tee at the final event of the 2026 season.
