2024 Tour Championship Odds & Picks: Billy Horschel

by |

The PGA Tour season comes to an end this week with the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

It's the final event of the three-event FedEx Cup Playoffs. At stake: the honor of being the FedEx Cup champion and a whole lot of money. The winner of the Tour Championship receives $25 million and a five-year PGA Tour exemption. Second place is worth $12.5 million. Every player in the 30-man field will earn at least $550,000.

The Tour Championship uses a unique "starting strokes" system that rewards players based on the number of FedEx Cup points accumulated so far this season. FedEx Cup points leader Scottie Scheffler will start at -10. No. 2 player Xander Schauffele starts at -8, No. 3 Hideki Matsuyama starts at -7, No. 4 Keegan Bradley starts at -6, and No. 5 Ludvig Aberg 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.

Let's take a closer look at our top 2024 Tour Championship odds and picks for Billy Horschel.

Billy Horschel Tour Championship Course History

Billy Horschel has played in the Tour Championship at East Lake five times, and his best finish came back in 2014 when he won the event outright. The American shot -11 (66-66-69-68) over the four days, which capped off an insane run where he notched two straight wins (BMW Championship) after placing second at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Horschel didn't play the event in 2023, and his 2022 effort saw him finish 21st with a score of -8 (68-70-66-69).

Billy Horschel Recent Form

Horschel has one win this year, which came back in April at the Corales Puntacana Championship. His efforts in the 2023-2024 campaign have earned him a -1 starting score, which puts him in a five-way tie for 21st.

Billy Horschel 2024 Tour Championship Betting Outlook

I'm not rushing to the window to make a bet on Billy Horschel this weekend. At DraftKings Sportsbook, he's +280 to finish 10th or better, and I don't think he'll be able to make up that much ground on the top-tier competitors above him. Even at -200 to place 20th or better, I just don't think it's as much of a lock as the odds reflect. Sometimes the best bet is making no bet at all, and in my opinion, that old gambling proverb applies here.
