2024 Tour Championship Odds & Picks: Scottie Scheffler

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 Scottie Scheffler.

Scottie Scheffler Tour Championship Course History

East Lake has proven to be a tough venue for the world’s No. 1 golfer. The small, undulating greens are difficult to read, and Scottie Scheffler has struggled to read greens throughout his career. Scheffler still hasn’t been too terrible, with high finishes in the Tour Championship in each of the last two seasons without a victory.

Scottie Scheffler Recent Form

Since his comeback gold medal triumph at the Olympics, Scheffler has looked perplexed on the greens. He has ranked poorly in strokes gained putting and has even been erratic off the tee. This is still on the heels of six victories on Tour, where Scheffler has looked unbeatable this season with any semblance of decent putting.

Scheffler tees off at the Tour Championship with a two-stroke advantage over Xander Schauffele and an even greater cushion over the rest of the field. As the top points earner in the FedEx Cup standings, Scheffler benefits from the graduated scoring setup at East Lake. His negative betting odds should deter any early wagers on Scheffler, with hopes his lead evaporates, creating a better wagering line for live betting.
