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 started its coverage from Friday at 2300 PST.
