ATLANTA — Rory McIlroy always thought his big year deserved a big finish. The Tour Championship is his last chance.

McIlroy already has won a pair of majors — the British Open and PGA Championship — sandwiched around a World Golf Championship. He is back to No. 1 in the world and is assured of being there for at least the next two months. He already has another PGA Tour money title.

About the only item McIlroy doesn’t have is the FedEx Cup.

“After I finished the PGA, all my focus was on the FedEx Cup and trying to win this,” McIlroy said Wednesday.

The trophy — not to mention the $10 million bonus — is up for grabs this week at East Lake. McIlroy is the No. 4 seed going into the Tour Championship, and the top five seeds only have to win the tournament to claim the FedEx Cup.

“Anything other than a win there would be a disappointment,” he said.

McIlroy could win the FedEx Cup without winning the tournament, though recent history would not be on his side. Five of the seven FedEx Cup champions — including the last four — have all won the Tour Championship.

The good news for McIlroy?

“I only have to beat 28 other guys,” he said.
