TOUR Championship Tips & Predictions
—
TOUR Championship Best Bet – Scottie Scheffler
We have been critical of Scheffler’s inability to win PGA Tour tournaments later in the year, and although he’s proving us right, that could change this week.
He has had a tremendous year, despite winning only one major, but he won Olympic Gold a few weeks ago.
He comes off a dreadful BMW Championship, but starting with a lead should give him enough confidence to kick on with it. It only requires a good opening round to give most of the field no hope of winning, and we believe he will shoot low on Friday.
If the world number one can shoot around –5 at East Lake, his lead is likely to stretch over Schauffele and Matsuyama. That could be the winning of the tournament, and he’s looking to make amends for losing in the same position last year.
Taking $2.10 is a fair price considering he already has a lead, like he needs it.
Bet: Scottie Scheffler @ $2.10
TOUR Championship Best Value – Xander Schauffele
Starting two shots behind Scheffler, if there is any player good enough to bridge the gap, it’s Xander Schauffele.
The American has had an amazing year, picking up the PGA Championship and Open Championship – the only player with two majors in 2024.
He comes off another great performance at the BMW Championship, falling one shot short of Keegan Bradley, so his form is better than Schefflers.
If he starts well and keeps in touch with his Ryder Cup teammate, he could give Scheffler plenty to think about over the weekend.
Pressure means nothing to Schauffele, and getting $3.25 is well worth including in TOUR Championship picks.
Bet: Xander Schauffele @ $3.25
TOUR Championship Next Best – Ludvig Aberg
It has been a meteoric rise up the rankings for Ludvig Aberg in 2024, and he could follow in the footsteps of fellow Scandinavian Viktor Hovland.
He starts a few shots behind Scheffler, but Aberg can shoot low numbers, so he won’t be worried by the deficit, especially if Scheffler plays like he did last week.
We are surprised by the $19.00 odds for the Swedish player, who is a major winner in the making after finishing second behind Scheffler at the 2024 Masters.
Winning the FedEx Cup isn’t out of the realm of possibility, and there is always one player who makes a run at the leaders.
Bet: Ludvig Aberg @ $19.00
TOUR Championship Best Roughie – Sam Burns
We like Sam Burns to finish in the top 10 at $1.90 after some good performances.
He showed some frustration when breaking his driver in the first event of the playoffs, but he rebounded with a big performance in Colorado last week.
It’s good to see Burns back at his best, and although winning the TOUR Championship from his position is extremely tough, he has a good chance of making the top 10.
He starts ninth, and punters get a fair price from bookmakers for him to hold that position. Those odds are too good to pass up.
Bet: Sam Burns Top 10 @ $1.90
