TOUR Championship Tips & Predictions
—
TOUR Championship Best Bet – Rory McIlroy
Rory McIlroy is a three-time winner of the FedEx Cup, so his experience can’t be overlooked this week at East Lake.
The Northern Irishman is the second favourite at $4.50, and he’s only a few shots behind Scheffler, which isn’t much given it’s a four-day tournament.
McIlroy hasn’t been at his winning best recently, and he hasn’t won a major since 2014. That’s the concern, and although this isn’t a major, he would have liked to have seen him win recently.
However, he only needs his putter to catch fire and he should win. He’s still hitting the ball better than most players on the PGA Tour, and we’re putting him on top because of his experience winning the Tour Championship, like he did last year.
“Yeah, I’m playing great tee to green, the best I’ve played in a long time. [I am] Going to have to drive the ball probably a little straighter, but I felt like I found something on the back nine there today to go into next week.
“But overall, I’m in a really good position going into next week, so excited for it.”
Bet: Rory McIlroy @ $4.50
TOUR Championship Best Value – Jon Rahm
It pays not to forget about Jon Rahm, who lost a few positions last week, but he’s still within striking distance.
The classy Spaniard starts four strokes behind Scheffler, and although he’s another player struggling to recapture his best form, it’s never too far away for Rahm.
He started the year on fire by winning four tournaments, including the 2023 Masters at Augusta. If he’s anywhere near his best, the $8.50 available with bookmakers is a generous price.
He’s the best value in the tournament, and we wouldn’t be surprised if he closed the gap on the leaders before the weekend.
Bet: Jon Rahm @ $8.50
TOUR Championship Best 72-Hole Score – Tom Kim
Tom Kim is a player we can get behind and support every week. He entered the final round last week at even par before shooting –7, which was a massive result.
It rocketed him up the leaderboard to T10, which was a nice result for punters, and we’re happy to bet on him again.
The young South Korean has an ability to shoot low numbers, and although he might be too far back to win the TOUR Championship, he has every chance of shooting the lowest 72-hole score.
The favourite is McIlroy at $6, which we also fancy, but back Kim at $29. That’s a value price for one of golf’s shining lights.
Bet: Tom Kim @ $29
TOUR Championship Top 10 – Xander Schauffele
Xander Schauffele is a golfer who is always around the mark but doesn’t win as often as you’d like. Therefore, he’s an excellent top 10 bet for the TOUR Championship.
The American Olympic gold medal winner starts at –3, seven strokes behind Scheffler, but there are only 10 players ahead of him, and we fancy his chances of running at least one of them down.
He’s a quality player and well worth having on your ticket at $1.73.
Bet: Xander Schauffele @ $1.73
Top English Player – Matthew Fitzpatrick
There is good value with this golf betting option, which pits Tommy Fleetwood, Matthew Fitzpatrick, and Tyrrell Hatton against each other.
Fleetwood starts from a better position, but we expect Fitzpatrick to run him down, especially after a top performance at the BMW Championship.
Fleetwood struggles when the pressure is on, unlike Fitzpatrick, who has a major win under his belt.
Punters get $2.70 for Fitzpatrick, which is excellent shopping, and he could leapfrog Fleetwood after the first two rounds.
Bet: Matthew Fitzpatrick @ $2.70
