Officially, "Presented by Coca-Cola" is part of the title of this event. Since 2002, its sponsor has been Coke. Whether that has been good for the tournament remains difficult to document. While called "The Tour Championship," purses had dropped and then begun to rise quickly. The same dynamic occurred more steadily, without any declines, once Coke took the reigns. But many golfers question the event being moved from its normal November schedule slot. It seems like a different championship all together. The "FedEx factor" is a source of constant debate, especially concerning this tournament, the pros and cons of which involve, at their root, mostly money, lack of revering golf history, and frayed allegiances.
Even though some argue that being moved to September has allowed other PGA events to horde the claim to "last event of the PGA year," many fans still consider this the last true tournament with the history and respect to bookmark the PGA season.
Since 2006, the FedEx Cup has influenced the way this event is governed, how many players are invited, qualifications, and time of year it is played. Additional features of the tournament attempt to balance against the losses. The season no longer ends with The Tour Championship Golf Tournament seems to sum-up the new direction. 2010 the championship is once again in Atlanta.
