Tour Championship Picks, Odds & Favorites

For the second year in a row, Scottie Scheffler is the betting favorite for the Tour Championship by the odds from ourbest golf betting sites. He'll hope for a better result than his co-runner-up finish in 2022.

A T-2 finish in the BMW Championship propelled World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to first in the season-long FedEx Cup standings, thus making him the betting favorite by the odds to win the 2023 Tour Championship. Scheffler will begin the Tour Championship at 10-under par and with a two-stroke lead over Viktor Hovland, who won the BMW Championship at minus-17 with the help of a final-round course record of 61.

Scheffler won twice this PGA Tour season but not since The Players Championship in mid-March. Still, there's little argument he has been the best player in golf this year and remains first in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). Heading into the Tour Championship, he has taken over from Jon Rahm as the betting favorite by the FedEx Cup odds.

Here's our look at the best Tour Championship odds for East Lake Golf Club near Atlanta, GA (odds via our best sports betting apps).

Tour Championship field notes

Tyrrell Hatton, Jordan Spieth, and Sepp Straka crept into the 30-man field for the Tour Championship with respective finishes of T-34, T-34, and T-37 in the BMW Championship. They're three of the five golfers—with Sam Burns and Emiliano Grillo—who'll begin the Tour Championship at even par.

Scheffler will start Thursday's first round from the pole position at minus-10 with a two-stroke lead over Hovland (minus-8). Reigning FedEx Cup champ Rory McIlroy will begin his defense at 7-under par after beginning six strokes back of Scheffler at minus-4 last year.

Rahm opens the final event of the season at minus-6 and Lucas Glover begins at 5-under. Max Homa, Patrick Cantlay, Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark, and Matt Fitzpatrick start at 4-under. Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley, Keegan Bradley, Rickie Fowler, and Xander Schauffele open at minus-3. Tom Kim, Sungjae Im, Tony Finau, Corey Conners, and Si Woo Kim begin their week at minus-2. Taylor Moore, Nick Taylor, Adam Schenk, Collin Morikawa, and Jason Day are nine strokes back of Scheffler at minus-1.

Justin Thomas and Hideki Matsuyama headline the notable absences from the Tour Championship field after failing to qualify for the top 30 in the season-long points race.
