Hideki Matsuyama in position for eighth consecutive TOUR Championship berth

Limited Grounds and hospitality tickets now on sale

ATLANTA – Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama is in position to make his eighth consecutive trip to Atlanta and the TOUR Championship following his historic win at the 2021 Masters where he became Japan’s first male major champion. In what was the first major of 2021 and third of the 2020-21 PGA TOUR Season, Matsuyama earned 600 FedExCup points to vault from No. 33 to No. 7 in the FedExCup standings.

The TOUR Championship will once again serve as the culminating event of the FedExCup Playoffs and PGA TOUR season, where only the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings will advance to East Lake Golf Club over Labor Day weekend, September 2-5, for a chance to win the PGA TOUR’s Ultimate Prize: the FedExCup.

Matsuyama holds a share of the current active streak of seven consecutive TOUR Championship appearances dating back to his first full season on TOUR in 2014. Matsuyama’s feat has been matched by Patrick Reed, who is also in position for an eighth TOUR Championship at No. 14 in the current FedExCup standings.

Matsuyama has finished no lower than 15th in the season-long race for the FedExCup since 2016, with his best finish at East Lake being a T4 in 2018.

Bryson DeChambeau remains the FedExCup standings leader as the only two-time winner this season. DeChambeau captured the U.S. Open in the second event of the 2020-21 season and added the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard in March. He holds a 25-point lead over Justin Thomas, who captured THE PLAYERS Championship to go along with four other top-10 finishes this season.

As a reminder, the TOUR Championship is currently on sale with a limited number of Grounds and upgraded hospitality tickets. Fans are encouraged to secure their place at the PGA TOUR’s season finale while supplies last. To purchase tickets, please visit TOURChampionship.com/tickets.
