TOUR Championship 2017 live stream: Tee times, TV schedule, and how to watch Round 4 online

The PGA Tour does not really have an end point on the calendar. It’s just always up and running or just days away from re-starting. There is no offseason or sustained break from touring across the country, and often the world during the fall.

But there is an official end to a season and that will happen Sunday evening in Atlanta at the TOUR Championship. This is the fourth and final leg of the FedExCup Playoffs and only 30 players remain in the postseason. So we’ll have concurrent chases going on Sunday — one for the immediate Tour Championship trophy and another for the overall FedExCup. The winner of the Tour Championship will get $1.575 million and the winner of the FedExCup will get ... $10 million, the biggest prize in the game.

With the field so small and already featuring the very top of the standings, It’s common for the same player to collect both checks. Paul Casey holds the 54-hole lead heading into the final round of the season. Casey has not won all year — he’s actually not won on the PGA Tour in eight years, the 2009 Shell Houston Open, his only win on this circuit (he’s got 13 Euro Tour wins but the last one of those came in 2014). That he’s still standing in the final 30, and then could also win the entire damn FedExCup speaks to the constancy of Casey contention this year. He’s always around, always in the hunt on Sunday. He hasn’t been converting, but it seems like every weekend he’s posting a low number and pushing for a title late on Sunday. He’s been excellent, one of the best in the world, regardless of whether he’s got a win. Now he could end that drought and secure the biggest cash payout of his career.

Casey will need a little help. He did not enter the week in the top five of the FedExCup standings, and those are the only players who automatically win the entire thing with a victory in Atlanta. Casey will need to win, need Jordan Spieth to finish fifth or worse, and need Justin Thomas to finish in a three-way tie for third or worse (there are a couple other stipulations but they look unlikely and it’s already dizzying so let’s just focus on Spieth and Thomas). Spieth is currently tied for 13th and Thomas, who started the weekend in first place, has dropped to a tie for fourth. So Casey’s shot has been helped by those ahead of him in the standings.

The caveat, of course, is that this will all shuffle as the players start posting scores. Casey’s had trouble finishing these things off on Sundays, and we know Thomas, and even Spieth, can post some super low number to rocket back up to the top of the leaderboard. You just need to listen to the NBC coverage all day as the way-too-complicated scenarios are updated live throughout the final round of the final event of the season. Here’s your media schedule for Sunday’s final round at the TOUR Championship:

Noon to 1:30 p.m. — Golf Channel

1:30 to 6 p.m. — NBC

11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. — Featured holes coverage on PGA Tour Live

Noon to 6 p.m. — Golf Channel simulcast stream

1 to 6 p.m. — PGA Tour Radio on Sirius-XM (Ch. 93/208 and streamed here)

With only 30 players in the field, there’s obviously a lot of flexibility to set the tee sheet. The final group going at 1:50 p.m. should set up a finish well before 6 p.m. on NBC with time for all the trophy presentation formalities. Here’s the full tee sheet for the final round at East Lake (all times ET):
