2024 Tour Championship Odds & Picks: Viktor Hovland

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 Viktor Hovland.

Viktor Hovland Tour Championship Course History

The defending FedEx Cup champion was masterful at East Lake in 2023. He also chased the title back in 2021, finishing in fifth place. Viktor Hovland’s ballstriking, especially with his irons, plays well on this course with its tiny, tricky green complexes.

Viktor Hovland Recent Form

It hasn’t been as magical for the Norwegian this season, but there was a glimmer of hope that he was turning the corner with his runner-up finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship two weeks ago. Hovland has not had the same short-game success in 2024 that he enjoyed down the stretch to the Tour Championship in 2023. He still can get as hot as anyone making birdies if he finds a groove.

Viktor Hovland 2024 Tour Championship Betting Outlook

Hovland’s victorious romp at last year’s Tour Championship began just two strokes off the lead at 8 under par. He will begin the 2024 Tour Championship at 1 under par, nine strokes behind Scottie Scheffler. Early lines with graduated strokes considered are a fool’s errand, but I wouldn’t mind taking a shot on Hovland’s independent event score line when it becomes available. He has played well at East Lake multiple times in recent years and has shown redeeming quality play in the second half of this season.
