2024 Tour Championship Odds & Picks: Patrick Cantlay

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 Patrick Cantlay.

Patrick Cantlay Tour Championship Course History

Patrick Cantlay won the Tour Championship in 2021, narrowly beating Jon Rahm. Cantlay has finished inside the top 10 at East Lake Golf Club in three consecutive years, and now he'll be starting at 4 under par based on ranking 10th in the FedEx Cup standings.

Patrick Cantlay Recent Form

While Cantlay doesn't have an outright win this season, he did record four top-10 finishes and missed only one cut. Recently, he's finished outside the top 10 at the Open Championship and the first two FedExCup playoff events, although each finish has been inside the top 25.

Patrick Cantlay 2024 Tour Championship Betting Outlook

Cantlay ranks inside the top 40 in strokes gained: putting and strokes gained: around the green. He's also 27th in total strokes gained, but he's had difficulty finding greens in regulation. A return to a course where he's played well in the past should help Cantlay quite a bit, although I wouldn't recommend targeting him in the outright winner market at +3500. He's starting sixth on the leaderboard at -4, so his +220 odds in the top 5 finish market is more attainable.
