The 30 participants for this year's Tour Championship have been decided. Advancing to East Lake has plenty of perks, starting with the opportunity to compete for the FedEx Cup's $10 million first prize, in addition to the Tour Championship's $1.44 million winner's check.

The top five players in the FedEx Cup standings can all clinch the Cup by winning at East Lake. Qualifying for the Tour Championship also earns a player starts in next year's Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship. That gives players plenty to celebrate during this off week. The Tour Championship begins Sept. 20.

Here's a closer look at the 30 participants:
