Tiger Woods finished off the PGA Tour season by tapping in for par to win the Tour Championship, a moment that ended any doubts that he could win again after four surgeries on his lower back. And then the moment was gone.

Hours later, Woods and 17 other players were headed to France for the all-consuming Ryder Cup. And with barely enough time to digest Europe winning and Patrick Reed pouting, the PGA Tour started up a new season in California.

Ready for some overseas golf? The PGA TOUR’s Asian Swing begins with this week’s CIMB Classic in Malaysia, followed by tournaments in South Korea and China. Unique venues and cultural experiences await (as do late-night viewing opportunities on the Golf Channel!).

2 Pat Perez

Tiger Woods Wins the TOUR Championship 2018

At the 2018 TOUR Championship, Tiger Woods finishes one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history with his 80th PGA TOUR victory and first in 5 years.

The TOUR Championship, the final of the four events in the FedExCup Playoffs, is contested at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, GA. In 2017, Justin Thomas capped off an incredible season, one that included five victories -- including his first major at the PGA Championship -- and a career-best 59 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, with the FedExCup. He finished second at East Lake and outlasted his pal Jordan Spieth for the top prize.

The European Team, captained by Thomas Bjørn, is comprised of the first four players from the European Points List, followed by the leading four players from the World Points List and completed by four wild cards.
