2023 Tour Championship Odds, Picks & Predictions: Corey Conners

by |

The 2022-2023 PGA Tour season will come to a dramatic conclusion this week with the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

There's a great deal at stake for the 30 players who qualified for this event by making it through the first three tournaments of the four-week FedEx Cup Playoffs. The winner of the Tour Championship will receive $18 million and a five-year PGA Tour exemption. Second place is worth $6.5 million. Every player in the field will earn at least $500,000 for making it this far, along with a two-year PGA Tour exemption and a 2024 Masters invitation.

The Tour Championship uses a unique “starting strokes” system that rewards players based on the number of FedEx Cup points they’ve accumulated throughout the season. The FedEx Cup points leader starts at -10. The No. 2 player starts at -8, the No. 3 player starts at -7, the No. 4 player starts at -6, and the No. 5 player starts at -5. The rest of the field is sorted into groups of five, with groups starting at -4, -3, -2, -1 and even par. Bear in mind that betting odds for the Tour Championship take the starting strokes system into account.

The field features betting favorite Scottie Scheffler, reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm and defending FedEx Cup champion Rory McIlroy. Will one of the big names claim the title, or will we see a less heralded but red-hot player such as Lucas Glover or Brian Harman win at East Lake?

Let's look at the betting outlook for one of the players who'll be competing in this week's Tour Championship.

2023 Tour Championship Betting Outlook

Corey Conners comes into the Tour Championship at -2 and will be eight strokes behind the leader. Conners comes into this week with only one win this season, but that doesn’t tell the whole story, as he has notched 14 top-25 finishes and five top-10 finishes. Conners’ game is very solid — his ballstriking in particular — and does not really have a true weakness, and he seems to be getting hot at the right time. He’s coming off back-to-back top-10 finishes and is looking to make a run at East Lake.

2023 Tour Championship Betting Advice

I’m a fan of Conners this week, as I believe he’s playing his best golf of the season right now. It will be tough to climb all the way past the leaders, but I like Conners’ chances to finish in the top-10 when it’s all said and done.
