Tour Championship Golf Betting Tips & Predictions

Starts in 1d 14h

We have expert betting tips for the Tour Championship this week, which is the final tournament of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

30 of the PGA’s best players embark on the big money tournament, where Scottie Scheffler is the current $4.25 favourite to prevail.

We look at the best Tour Championship picks, including our best bet, best roughie, and top 10.

Best Bet

Scottie Scheffler @ $4.25

Bet Now

We saw visible frustration from Scheffler last week after another shocking start to the tournament, and he needs to eradicate that from his game.

If he starts poorly in the Tour Championship, he won’t win. The field is too good, unlike most tournaments throughout the year, coming from behind to beat the top 30 is too much of an ask, even for a player like Scheffler.

We expect him to start much better in Round 1, which could see him on the first page of the leaderboard. If he’s close heading into the weekend, he should finish best, and his win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship was impressive.

$4.25 when playing against only 29 other players is a good price with golf odds, so we’re picking the world’s best player to win the US$25 million prize.

Best Value Bet

Rory McIlroy @ $9.50

Bet Now

Rory McIlroy has more FedEx Cup wins than any other player with three, and he could add a fourth to his record this year.

The Northern Irishman played well last week without winning, but he had a putt on the back nine to take the lead, so he was there to win.

It has been an interesting year for McIlroy, who hasn’t had a busy schedule, but he won the Masters in April, and that’s one more major win than Scheffler had.

The 30-time PGA Tour winner is all class, and the $9.50 odds are an excellent price from bookmakers. Punters shouldn’t leave him off their tickets, and those odds could firm considerably throughout the week.

Best Roughie

Ryan Fox @ $81.00

Bet Now

New Zealand’s Ryan Fox hasn’t played well since taking out the Open Championship, but that’s not surprising given the whirlwind that happened after.

He flew back to NZ following the win before parading the trophy around. He then went back to the US and had to focus on golf, which hasn’t resulted in two good performances so far during the playoffs. However, he could play better than expected at the Tour Championship.

He qualified 30th, so he has nothing to lose, and the $81 odds for the most recent major winner is too good to turn down.

Next Best

Sam Burns @ $17.00

Bet Now

Sam Burns is a golfer who is always around the mark but often comes up short in big tournaments. However, he could be in for a big pay day at the Tour Championship.

The American is having a good year by anyone’s standards, but he has had chances to win majors and other big tournaments before finding ways to lose on the back nine in the final round.

We’re happy to give him another chance this week, and at $17, punters get value odds. He’ll give punters a sight, so he’s a value-for-money golfer.

First Round Leader

Gary Woodland @ $29.00

Bet Now

Gary Woodland was one shot behind Wyndham Clark with 10 holes to play last week before topping his 3 wood into the river.

It was a shocking shot, and it cost him the tournament, but he’s a mentally strong golfer, and he could bounce back with the lowest opening round of the Tour Championship.

He is currently paying $29 to lead after Round 1, and those odds are too juicy to pass up.
