Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley moved to the top of the standings as the third round of the 2025 Tour Championship got underway at East Lake, both sitting at 13-under and leading a crowded field headed into moving day. Fleetwood is chasing his first PGA Tour win, after two close calls that slipped away in recent months, including a late collapse at the Travelers Championship and another near-miss in Memphis.
Fleetwood spoke about staying patient and believing in himself even when results haven’t gone his way, insisting that a strong start in Atlanta proves he’s right in the mix for the weekend.

Moving day getting underway
All 30 players are under par as the field tees off in round three, with Fleetwood and Henley trying to extend their edge. After a rough start for Scottie Scheffler, who bogeyed the opening hole to begin his day from five back, the opening hole has proven tough for many players this week, contributing to a low-scoring, tightly packed leaderboard.
Round 3 tee times and notable pairings
The third round is underway with Viktor Hovland and J.J. Spaun kicking off the early wave, followed by a full slate of groups. The marquee pairing featuring Fleetwood and Henley is scheduled to tee off at 3:00 p.m. local time, as players chase birdies and a move up the FedEx Cup standings.
How to watch
The final event of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs is broadcast across Golf Channel and NBC in the United States, with live streaming available on ESPN+, Peacock and Fubo. Saturday’s coverage runs from noon to 7 p.m. ET, with separate blocks on ESPN+, the Golf Channel and NBC/Peacock. Sunday’s schedule will be announced closer to play.
Outlook
With Fleetwood seeking his maiden PGA Tour win and Henley aiming to capitalize on momentum, the moving day drama at East Lake promises plenty of twists. If Fleetwood can sustain his form and fend off a field that includes Cantlay, Scheffler and a host of contenders, a breakthrough victory could be within reach and set the stage for an exciting finish on Sunday. Fleetwood’s optimism and strong 36-hole start provide a hopeful storyline for fans rooting for a first-time winner in Atlanta.
