2024 Tour Championship Odds & Picks: Sungjae Im

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 Sungjae Im.

Sungjae Im Tour Championship Course History

This will be Sungjae Im's sixth consecutive year competing in the Tour Championship, so it's safe to say he knows the landscape of East Lake Golf Club. Im's 2023 performance saw him turn in a -3 score (71-71-68-69), while his 2022 outing was his career-best at -20 (67-65-66-66). The Korean-born golfer inherits a -3 starting position this weekend, which means he's in a five-way tie (11th-15th) looking up at 10 other golfers on the scoreboard.

Sungjae Im Recent Form

Im has looked very good over the last month, bagging three second-place finishes in his last five events. The two events where he didn't finish second saw the 26-year-old come in 15th or better. In addition to this heater that Im is on, he also has six more top-10 finishes this year, which includes his only outright win. That victory came at the Shriners Children's Open back in October.

Sungjae Im 2024 Tour Championship Betting Outlook

With the staggered starting scores, it appears that we're in for a pretty chalk finish in Atlanta this weekend. However, I do think it's worth a shot to play Sungjae Im to finish inside the top 10 at +150 (via DraftKings Sportsbook). He's in excellent form right now and starts in 11th place, meaning he only has to pass up one competitor to break into the top 10.
