Tour Championship 2023: Best golf free bets, betting offers and odds for FedExCup finale
THIS weekend sees the final of the FedEx Cup Playoffs at the 2023 Tour Championship.
It was 70-strong field that entered this postseason stage in the FedEx standings before that was whittled down to just 50.
Now, the top 30 following last weekend's dramatic BMW Championship have made it to the staggered stroke Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta.

Tour Championship Betting Preview
The FedEx Cup all comes down to this, with a staggering $18million going to the winner.
There's a total purse of $75million on offer for the 30 players who line up in Atlanta in the staggered stroke start.
Scottie Scheffler is the current FedEx Cup leader and with that starts -10.
That undoubtedly puts the consistent striker as the outright favorite this week after his T-2 finish in the BMW Championship last weekend.
Viktor Hovland struck a sensational back-9 score of 28 - which included eight 3s - which propelled him up the standings and he'll start -8.
Three-time FedEx Cup champion Rory McIlroy continued his own impressively consistent form last week and comes here in third spot in the standings, so will tee off at -7.
Jon Rahm has fallen down the standings in recent weeks and comes next at -6, with recent back-to-back winner Lucas Glover next at -5.
The remainder are all -4 and bigger, with the bottom five golfers all starting at Even par - including Jordan Spieth.
They'll have some way to go to catch Scheffler in his current form though.
However, McIlroy started six shots behind Scheffler last year to win by a stroke, which will no doubt play on the American's mind.
Latest odds for the Tour Championship
Scottie Scheffler is unsurprisingly the man at the top of the betting.
He comes here in great form and starts with a two-shot lead on his nearest competitor.
But the likes of Hovland and McIlroy are in their own top form and will more than fancy their chances of running that deficit down.
Latest odds at time of writing from DraftKings:
- Scottie Scheffler +150
- Rory McIlroy +330
- Viktor Hovland +450
- Jon Rahm +750
- Patrick Cantlay +1800
- Max Home +2800
- Xander Schauffele +3500
- Lucas Glover +3500

What is the best site to bet on the Tour Championship?
This is a monumental weekend for the 30 players that made it through last week's competition.
That means the bookmakers will all be fighting for your custom, with big prices and big offers around.
So, it's vitally important to shop around for the best odds on offer, particularly with different place offerings and the ability to bet on different markets available.
With some of the best odds, a range of different markets and a sensational sign up offer, BetMGM is a very sound choice of betting site.
What bets can I place on the Tour Championship?
As mentioned right above, you can bet on more than just the winner of the tournament.
BetMGM allows you to back the winner if you want, but you can also select who you think will be leading the tournament after Thursday's first round - with Scheffler obviously a short price. So if you think his lead will disappear, there's some top odds on offer.
While DraftKings allow you to pick who will be the leading player from their continent (i.e top European - Jon Rahm).
They've also paired some golfers together and you can bet on their 'match' and who'll come out on top.
And there's the option of selecting your golfer to make a hole in one across the four days at monster odds, too.
