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.

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!).

Three Players to Ponder

1 Justin Thomas
Three of his nine career PGA TOUR wins have come on the Asian Swing. That’s only one less than his win total in the continental U.S.

2 Pat Perez
Ryan Moore in 2013-14. JT in 2015-16. To continue the trend of successful defenses, Perez will have to win on a course with significant changes.

3 Billy Horschel
Was on fire during the FedExCup Playoffs. Now hoping to carry that momentum into the new season.

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 game's top players tee it up at Le Golf National just outside of Paris, France, for the 2018 Ryder Cup. The first Ryder Cup was played in 1927 but since 1979 the competition has consisted of two days of four-ball and foursome matches along with one day of singles matches. The 2018 Ryder Cup begins Friday, September 30, here's what you need to know on the unique team format.

The four remaining slots on the U.S. team are captain's picks by Jim Furyk. The first three were announced following the Dell Technologies Championship: Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Tony Finau became the final captain's pick on Monday, September 10.

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.
