The 2021/22 PGA Tour season ends this week and we have studied the odds to pick out some Tour Championship betting tips.
East Lake hosts the FedEx Cup decider which is a 30-player handicap event based on performances leading up to the season finale.
Scottie Scheffler starts at the top of the leaderboard on 10 under par so is the obvious favourite at 3.50 in the Tour Championship odds but here are our three best bets for the week.
XANDER SCHAUFFELE TOURNAMENT WINNER @ 8.00
Schauffele begins the first round in third place and is four strokes behind Scheffler, with Patrick Cantlay (-8) ahead of him.
Will Zalatoris, who would have started on seven under, has withdrawn from the event due to a back injury.
Schauffele’s record at East Lake suggests he can work his way into contention, though, having won the Tour Championship in 2017 and shooting the lowest total of the week here in 2019 when he started seven shots behind Dustin Johnson so missed out on the FedEx Cup.
His recent form also bodes well, with two victories in the last nine weeks, so he looks the best hope of someone catching Scheffler.
SUNGJAE IM TOP REST OF THE WORLD @ 3.20
There are seven players in contention in this category and two of them lead the way on four under par before the action gets under way, with Im being one of them.
The other is Cameron Smith, who missed the BMW Championship last week with a hip injury so is easy to oppose, while nearest rivals Joaquin Niemann and Hideki Matsuyama start a further two strokes behind.
Im has finished runner-up in two of his last four tournaments too so looks in the sort of form where he can stay ahead of the chasing pack in the rest of the world market.
JON RAHM TOURNAMENT WINNER (WITHOUT BONUS STROKES) @ 11.00
Bwin are also offering Tour Championship odds on the player to win without the handicap strokes added, which is effectively the player to shoot the lowest total score over four rounds.
Rahm has had a disappointing season by his own high standards but is ending it on something of a high, having enjoyed two top-10 finishes in the last fortnight.
His iron play and putting were both much improved at the BMW Championship last week, especially over the weekend when rounds of 65 and 67 ensured he heads to East Lake full of confidence.
The Spaniard looks worth including in our Tour Championship betting tips even though he surely has too much to do to win the overall event given he starts seven shots behind the leader.
