| 2nd November: The season ending TOUR Championship is
now underway and Ten Sports has live action from the final three days.
The event, which is open only to the top 30 money earners on the tour,
offers prize money of $6,500,000 with the winner taking home $1,170,000.
Tiger Woods and Phil Michelson are the only two big names missing from
the star studded list which boasts seven of the world’s top ten players in
the 27 man line up. Last year saw a surprise winner in the form
of Bart Bryant but he will not be there to defend his title as he failed to make
it into the exclusive field this year. However previous winners including Chad
Campbell, Vijay Singh and Retief Goosen will all be there looking to gain a second
success in the event. Another big name in the line up is Ernie Els
who surprisingly only secured his place in the field with a dramatic finish in
The Chrysler Championship. Despite not winning on the Tour for over two years
The Big Easy could well be the man to watch out for as he has had four top ten
finishes in the last six events. And with his relaxed style his
game is well suited the picturesque East Lake Course which is now the permanent
home to THE TOUR Championship. Ten Sports coverage begins at 23-30
IST on Friday. ABOUT TEN SPORTS: Only launched in April 2002, Taj
