ATLANTA - The Tour Championship began today at Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club, with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson expected to battle it out for a $10 million FedEx Cup.

Play was suspended shortly after 2 p.m. because of stormy weather.

The top 30 players teed off at East Lake, where trophies will be awarded for the winner of the season-ending Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup.

Woods has the best chance of winning the inaugural Cup as he is already ahead in the standings. Mickelson is Number 3 in the standings after skipping last week. He will have to win the Tour Championship for any chance of capturing the cup.

In the middle is Steve Stricker. He is one of only two players who have finished in the top 10 all three weeks in the P-G-A Tour Playoffs.

Rory Sabbatini at Number Four and fifth-ranked K-J Choi have a mathematical chance of winning the FedEx Cup, although their odds are long.
