2023 Sanderson Farms Championship odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

One week after Europe’s win in the Ryder Cup, the PGA Tour continues its fall schedule with the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi. The Country Club of Jackson is hosting the event for the 10th time, with the 1st round beginning on Thursday morning.

Below, we look at the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Ludvig Aberg is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 11 in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, and is the betting favorite (+1200) to win in Jackson. Eric Cole, Stephan Jaeger (both at +2000) and Emiliano Grillo (+2200) are also among the top players teeing it up in Mississippi this week.

The Country Club of Jackson is a par-72 course and will play at 7,461 yards. It features bermuda grass greens that often roll at very quick speeds, and given the length of the course, strokes gained: off the tee is a good measure of success at the Country Club of Jackson, as are most ball-striking stats due to the smaller greens. The last 9 winning scores here have been between 16-under and 22-under par.

Sanderson Farms Championship – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 3:37 p.m. ET.

Eric Cole (+2000)

Cole doesn’t have a PGA Tour win yet on his resume, but he’s someone who’s due for one. He has 4 top-10 finishes already this season, including a 4th-place finish in the Fortinet Championship two weeks ago. He missed the cut  last year after a 1st-round 78 but he’s a good bet this week in Mississippi.

Ludvig Aberg (+1200)

Is Aberg going to be jetlagged and burned out from the festivities in Rome? Maybe. Is he still deserving of the shortest odds this week? Definitely. I’m willing to take him to win this week and ride the momentum after playing well in the Ryder Cup and winning the Omega European Masters last month.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sanderson Farms Championship picks – Contenders

Mark Hubbard (+4000)

Hubbard tied for 5th here last year after missing the cut the previous 2 seasons, which was one of 3 top-30 finishes in the fall last season. In the Fortinet Championship 2 weeks ago, he tied for 17th, so he has some momentum.

Greyson Sigg (+5000)

He tied for 9th in this event last year. Last month he tied for 25th in the Fortinet and is above-average in SG: off the tee this season, ranking 79th on tour. As a mid-tier target, Sigg has good value this week.

Sanderson Farms Championship picks – Long shots

Scott Stallings (+9000)

Stallings has a lot of experience in this event, playing it 8 straight seasons. He’s only missed the cut twice in that span and has never finished worse than T-43 when he has made the cut, with his best finish being T-6 three years ago. His odds should probably be shorter, given his course history.

2023 Ryder Cup prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2023 Ryder Cup with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Every other year, Team USA and Europe square off in the Ryder Cup. This year’s competition is being held on European soil at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club just outside Rome, Italy.

The fun gets underway on Friday morning, with 2 days of team matches and the final day consisting of 12 singles matches to decide the eventual champion. Below, we look at the 2023 Ryder Cup odds and make our picks and predictions.

Headlining the American team are Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, while Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland lead the way for the European squad.

Marco Simone Golf and Country Club is an iconic venue with big elevation changes and a handful of driveable par 4s. This week, it’ll play as a par 72 at 7,268 yards.

Ryder Cup – Top USA points scorer

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 3:28 p.m. ET.

Xander Schauffele (+650)

Schauffele has the benefit of playing with his buddy Cantlay, and I expect captain Zach Johnson to utilize that duo often in Rome. Considering how frequently Schauffele and Cantlay should be picked in doubles matches (at least 2 or 3 times, I would think), Schauffele is worth a bet to be the top points scorer – that is, if he can win his singles match and Cantlay lose his.

Jordan Spieth (+1000)

Like Schauffele, Spieth has his partner already set up: Justin Thomas. Now, Thomas has struggled all year and looks like a weak link on the United States team, but match play and the Ryder Cup are a different animal. Spieth is 8-4-2 in doubles matches in the Ryder Cup and though he’s winless in singles, this European squad has a few players that Spieth would be favored against, depending on the draw.

Ryder Cup – Top European points scorer

Rory McIlroy (+450)

Take Rory and don’t think twice. The Europeans are probably going to play their top 3 players (McIlroy, Rahm and Hovland) in all 5 matches, so that gives McIlroy ample opportunities to earn points. Assuming he isn’t paired with Rahm or Hovland, too, he could pull ahead of both players in the points category if they trip up in doubles.

Tommy Fleetwood (+650)

Fleetwood might be the Europeans’ not-so-secret weapon. He’s one of the best ball-strikers in the world, which makes him a dream partner in foursomes because he’s going to hit a bunch of irons close for birdie looks.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Ryder Cup – Top USA rookie

Max Homa (+160)

Homa was perfect at the Presidents Cup last year (4-0) and now gets to make his Ryder Cup debut. While he might seem like a laid-back California kid, he showed plenty of fire in the Presidents Cup and will make a great partner for whoever Johnson pairs him with.

Ryder Cup – Top European rookie

Ludvig Aberg (+150)

Yep, chalk again. Right next to Rory, Aberg is one of the best players off the tee at this Ryder Cup, using his driver as a major advantage thanks to his combination of accuracy and easy power. It remains to be seen how many matches Aberg will play but if he gets off to a good start Friday, he might be tough to keep off the course.

Ryder Cup – Top USA captain’s pick

Jordan Spieth (+450)

Going back to Spieth with this one over Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa and others. It just comes down to opportunities and match history, and I think Spieth will be out there a bunch with Thomas, given their match-play success.

Ryder Cup – Top European captain’s pick

Tommy Fleetwood (+225)

Fleetwood is my favorite to finish with the most points among captain’s picks, ahead of Justin Rose, Aberg and others. He does have the shortest odds for this bet, but he deserves to.

2023 Ryder Cup odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2023 Ryder Cup, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The U.S. and Europe will get together in Italy this week for the 2023 Ryder Cup, which is being held at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club just outside of Rome. Team USA won the Cup in 2021 when it was held in the states, running away with it, 19-9, but the Americans haven’t won on European turf since 1993.

Below, we look at the 2023 Ryder Cup odds and make our picks and predictions.

The American team is led by World No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, as well as 2023 major champions, Wyndham Clark, Brooks Koepka and Brian Harman. Also on the squad are Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Sam Burns, Max Homa, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler.

On Team Europe, Rory McIlroy leads the way again, alongside Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland. Major champions Matt Fitzpatrick, Shane Lowry and Justin Rose are also representing Team Europe, along with PGA Tour rookie Ludvig Aberg. Also on the squad are Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrell Hatton, Robert McIntyre, Nicolai Hojgaard and Sepp Straka.

Marco Simone Golf and Country Club will play as a par 72 and 7,268 yards this week. The course features a few drivable par 4s, which will certainly make match play more interesting, and the severe elevation changes also bring added strategy into the mix.

Ryder Cup – Winner

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 10:30 p.m. ET.

USA: -105
Tie: +1200
Europe: +115

There’s no shortage of star power on either team this year. From top to bottom, it’s the strongest collection of talent in the Ryder Cup in quite some time. The Americans have the edge in experience, with returning players such as Scheffler, Morikawa, Koepka, Thomas, Cantlay, Schauffele and Spieth. However, the Europeans are loaded at the top with McIlroy, Rahm and Hovland all ranked inside the top 4 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Where the Americans could have the edge is further down the board thanks to their depth. Hojgaard, Straka and Aberg are all Ryder Cup rookies and don’t have the same level of experience as the Americans. Clark and Harman are both major champions and ranked in the top 10 in the world, so while they’re Ryder Cup rookies, they’ve had terrific 2023 seasons.

Team USA also doesn’t have a player ranked lower than 26th in the world, whereas Europe has 5 ranked 34th or lower. So as a whole, the Americans have the edge in that regard.

If the Ryder Cup were being played in the U.S., there’s no doubt the Americans would be heavily favored to win. But because it’s in Europe, that gives the home squad a significant advantage, given their success on European soil in past Ryder Cups.

So much of the Ryder Cup comes down to singles matches when all 24 players will be in the spotlight. And as much as I like the Europeans to keep things close or even come out of doubles matches with a slight lead on Saturday, the Americans will get the job done in singles on Sunday because of how deep their team is.

BET USA (-105) to win the Ryder Cup this weekend and retain the cup, beating Team Europe in a close match.

2023 Fortinet Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2023 Fortinet Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The PGA Tour begins its fall portion of the schedule with the aptly named FedExCup Fall, which starts with the 2023 Fortinet Championship at Silverado Resort in Napa, Calif.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2023 Fortinet Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Max Homa is going for the three-peat after winning this tournament the last 2 years, and he’s unsurprisingly the betting favorite to win at +750. The next-closest player is Justin Thomas at +1600, tied with Sahith Theegala. Cam Davis has the 4th-best odds (+2000) to win this week.

The North Course at Silverado Resort is a par 72 and will play at 7,123 yards this week. It features poa annua greens, which typically favor players from California, and with the shorter length of the course overall, distance off the tee isn’t essential.

Fortinet Championship – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 7:20 p.m. ET.

Sahith Theegala (+360)

Theegala is a California native and has played well in this tournament before, finishing 6th last year after coming in 47th and 14th in his previous 2 starts. He’s at a reasonable price for a top 5 this week.

Stephan Jaeger (+525)

Jaeger has finished in the top 35 in each of his last 6 starts this season, showing good form coming into the week. His best finish in his last 3 starts here, however, was a T-43 last year.

Fortinet Championship – Top-10 picks

Beau Hossler (+275)

Hossler has finished 25th, 16th and 23rd in his last 3 trips to the Fortinet Championship, playing at a high level at Silverado Resort.

Brendon Todd (+350)

Todd may not be a long hitter, but that’s what makes him a great fit for this event. He’s come in 9th and 22nd the last 2 years, using his wedge play and irons to hit a lot of greens.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fortinet Championship – Top-20 picks

Austin Eckroat (+240)

Eckroat came in 64th here last year and has missed the cut in his last 2 starts this season, but he’s due to get back on track after playing extremely well in May and June.

Doug Ghim (+240)

Ghim has been a cut-maker all season, missing just 1 cut since the beginning of May. He finished 14th here in 2020 so he does have some decent course history at Silverado Resort.

Justin Lower (+425)

Lower surprised a lot of people by coming in 4th here last year after missing the cut in 2021. Additionally, he’s made the cut in 3 of his last 5 starts, including a T-8 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Fortinet Championship – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Brendon Todd (-105) vs. Eric Cole (-115)

Going back to Todd here with his course history and accuracy off the tee, which will give him a lot of opportunities to hit these greens.

Sahith Theegala (-115) vs. Cam Davis (-105)

This course doesn’t exactly suit Davis’ game, being a longer hitter who likes to overpower venues by cutting corners and bombing it off the tee. He’s missed the cut in 2 of his last 3 starts here, while Theegala is 3-for-3.

Fortinet Championship – Top European

Stephan Jaeger (+200)

It’s not a particularly strong European field, with Alex Noren and Callum Tarren being the next-best players in the field after Jaeger. The +200 might feel like short odds for this one, but Jaeger is trending up.

Fortinet Championship – First-round leader

Sahith Theegala (+3000)

Let’s go with the Cali kid to take an early lead on Thursday after finishing 6th here last year.

More expert prop bet predictions

Group B winner: Brendon Todd (+400)

The others in Todd’s group for this bet are as follows: Beau Hossler (+280), Eric Cole (+333), J.J. Spaun (+375) Andrew Putnam (+400). He has the longest odds of the bunch, which is why I like the value in such an open field.

2023 Fortinet Championship odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2023 Fortinet Championship, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 1st tournament of the inaugural FedExCup Fall begins this week with the 2023 Fortinet Championship at Silverado Resort in Napa, Calif. It’s the 1st of 7 events this fall as Max Homa goes for the threepeat at this event in his home state. The tournament begins on Thursday morning, with the final round on Sunday afternoon.

Below, we look at the 2023 Fortinet Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Homa is the favorite (+750) to retain his title this week, attempting to win this tournament for the 3rd year in a row. Justin Thomas (+1400) and Sahith Theegala (+1800) are among the big names in the field, along with Cam Davis (+2500). Homa is the highest-ranked player in the field in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, coming in at No. 10.

The North Course at Silverado Resort isn’t overly long, playing at 7,123 yards as a par 72. It was designed by Johnny Miller and this year, holes 8-17 have been rerouted to change the layout.

Fortinet Championship – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 7:10 p.m. ET.

Brendon Todd (+3500)

Todd doesn’t have much length off the tee, but he’s a good fit for Silverado Resort, which isn’t a very demanding course from a distance perspective. It’s part of the reason Todd finished 9th and 22nd in his last 2 starts in this event, and he also finished 26th in 2016 when it was the Frys.com Open.

Stephan Jaeger (+2500)

Jaeger tied for 43rd here last year, but I’m much more interested in his 6 straight top-35 finishes in his last 6 starts, including a T-20 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, his most recent tournament. Jaeger is riding some momentum into this event.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Fortinet Championship picks – Contenders

Austin Eckroat (+5500)

Eckroat had a hot streak from May to June when he finished in the top 30 in 5 straight starts, including a runner-up at the AT&T Byron Nelson. He’s missed cuts in his last 2 tournaments, but he could be in line to bounce back at an event where he finished 64th last year due to a final-round 77.

Doug Ghim (+5500)

Ghim has only missed 1 cut since the beginning of May, and while he hasn’t finished better than T-12, he’s a cut-maker who could break through eventually to win his 1st PGA Tour event.

Fortinet Championship picks – Long shot

Justin Lower (+10000)

Lower has played this event the last 2 years, missing the cut in 2021 before finishing 4th last year. He finished 8th in July at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

2023 Tour Championship final-round odds, golfers to watch

Analyzing the golf odds entering the final round to win the 2023 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Course in Atlanta

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Viktor Hovland, who opened at +450 to win, is at 20-under-par and will take a 6-stroke lead into Sunday’s final round at East Lake Golf Club (7,319 yards, par 70). Hovland is No. 6 in the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings.

Pre-tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler (+140 before the opening round and now at +8000) is tied for 5th place, 9 strokes back at 11-under after rounds of 71-65-73. Defending champion Rory McIlroy, who won at 21-under 263, is tied for 8th place at 9-under after shooting 70-67-71. He opened at +350 to win and is now +40000.

2023 Tour Championship – Final pairing

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:33 a.m. ET.

Viktor Hovland (-900)

Barring an incredible turn of events, the 25-year-old Norwegian pro will win his 2nd consecutive tour event and 6th of his career. Hovland, who shot 61 in the final round last week to win the BMW Championship, has rounds of 68-64-66. He has shot 10 consecutive rounds in the 60s.

Xander Schauffele (+1100)

The 29-year-old Californian, who opened at +3000 to win, shot a 2-under 68 on Saturday to go with a 67-64 and starts 6 shots back in a bid for his 8th career title. He’ s the No. 2 player in Golfweek’s rankings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

2023 Tour Championship – In the hunt (sort of)

Before the final group tees off at 1:40 p.m. ET (12 -1:30 p.m. ET Golf Channel, 1:30-6 p.m. ET CBS), here are 3 other players to watch as they try to chase down Hovland for the $18 million winner’s check.

Collin Morikawa (+2800): Golfweek’s No. 14 player is tied for 3rd, 7 shots back at 13-under after rounds of 61-64-73. He opened at +13000.

2023 Tour Championship – Props update

Before the tournament started, we mentioned a few prop bets worth considering a play on. Let’s take a look at 2 of them.

Xander Schauffele (+170 to make top 5): By no means a lock, but looking good.

Sungjae Im (+160 to make top 10): Starts final round tied for 25th at 2-under with rounds of 71-71-68.

You’re allowed to play your site credit on any of the many sports you’ll find on the BetRivers website or app. However, there’s one consideration to keep in mind: You must play your site credit on an event with odds of -200 or better (meaning -100 or -150 or -199 are just fine). Your site-credit bet needs to win just once for you to collect the profit in cash.

2023 Tour Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2023 Tour Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The FedExCup Playoffs will come to a close this weekend at East Lake Golf Club, which is hosting the 2023 Tour Championship once again. The 1st round begins on Thursday from Atlanta.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets among the 2023 Tour Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Scottie Scheffler comes into the week as the heavy favorite (+140), holding the poll position in the FedExCup standings. That earns him a 2-shot cushion to start the tournament, beginning the week at 10-under par thanks to the staggered scoring format. Viktor Hovland will start at 8-under par, while Rory McIlroy (7-under), Jon Rahm (6-under) and Lucas Glover (5-under) will follow behind Scheffler. Sam Burns, Emiliano Grillo, Tyrrell Hatton, Jordan Spieth and Sepp Straka will begin the week 10 shots back at even par.

East Lake Golf Club is a par 70 and plays at 7,346 yards, with 2 of the par 5s being played as par 4s during the Tour Championship. It features some of the narrowest fairways on tour, which makes driving accuracy essential because the rough is thick and penalizing.

Tour Championship – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 2:17 p.m. ET.

Xander Schauffele (+170)

Schauffele starts 7 shots back of Scheffler and is tied for 11th to begin the week, meaning he has to overtake at least 6 players just to have a chance at the top 5. I’m confident he can do that, given his track record here. In his last 6 starts here, he’s never finished worse than 7th without starting strokes applied, leading the field with the lowest 72-hole score twice.

Max Homa (+160)

Homa comes into this week red hot, improving his finish in each of his last 5 starts: T-21, T-12, T-10, T-6 and T-5 since the start of July. He had the 3rd-lowest 72-hole score last year and starts the week tied for 6th, so he doesn’t have a ton of ground to make up.

Brian Harman (+300)

Harman starts the week tied with Homa for 6th at 4-under par, but we don’t need him to overcome the 6-shot deficit to Scheffler with this bet. He just has to finish in the top 5. In his last 24 rounds, he’s only shot over 70 twice.

Tour Championship – Top-10 picks

Sungjae Im (+160)

Im nearly took down McIlroy last year when he finished T-2 with Scheffler thanks to rounds of 67, 65, 66 and 66. This year, he starts tied for 16th at 2-under but he has the ability to heat up quickly with how frequently he makes birdies.

Russell Henley (-105)

Henley is starting tied for 11th at 3-under. This is only his 2nd time playing the Tour Championship since 2017 but his accuracy off the tee will keep him in the short grass and able to attack pins.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Tour Championship – Winner without bonus strokes

Xander Schauffele (+1200)

Schauffele has cashed this bet twice in his last 6 starts here and he’s also finished 2nd and 3rd once each in that span. As previously mentioned, he’s never finished worse than 7th without the bonus strokes applied, owning the highest total strokes gained here since 2015, per Ron Klos.

Rory McIlroy (+550)

McIlroy is a perennial contender at East Lake, winning the Tour Championship just last year after taking down Scheffler. Without bonus strokes, he’s finished with the low 72-hole score 3 times since 2016.

Tour Championship – Matchups (bonus strokes applied)

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Brian Harman (-120) vs. Lucas Glover (-105)

It might feel risky to bet Harman at -120 considering he’s spotting Glover a shot to start the week, but one shot is nothing for him to overcome. It might be time to fade Glover, who finished 22nd out of 50 players last week at the BMW Championship. He could be running out of steam, but I don’t think the same can be said for Harman.

Russell Henley (-125) vs. Rickie Fowler (+100)

Since his win in July, Fowler has finished 25th, 58th, 23rd and 42nd, so he hasn’t exactly played that well lately. Henley is deadly accurate with his driver and had the 3rd-lowest 72-hole score without strokes in 2017, his last appearance at East Lake.

Tour Championship – Top Asian

Sungjae Im (+138)

Tom Kim (+175) and Si Woo Kim (+225) are the only other competitors in this wager, and they all start at 2-under par, so they’re playing straight-up this week. Im has the best track record here and has 2 top-10 finishes in his last 2 starts this season.

Tour Championship – First-round leader

Rory McIlroy (+500)

It’s tough to bet on the 1st-round leader this week because Scheffler has a 2-shot lead over the next-closest guy, Hovland, but McIlroy is one worth betting because when he’s in a position to chase, he can go really low.

More expert prop bet predictions

Group B winner: Xander Schauffele (+275)

Schauffele and Homa are tied as the favorites in this group, followed by Glover (+375), Matt Fitzpatrick (+450) and Wyndham Clark (+450). I’ve already mentioned how well Schauffele has played here in the past, making him the best player to bet in this group.

2023 Tour Championship odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2023 Tour Championship, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The FedExCup Playoffs will wrap up on Sunday afternoon at the 2023 Tour Championship, where a new FedExCup champion will be crowned at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The 1st round begins on Thursday morning for the 30 players left in the field.

Below, we look at the 2023 Tour Championship odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

The Tour Championship is different than other events because it features a staggered scoring format based on where players sit in the FedExCup standings entering the week. Scottie Scheffler is atop the standings so he’ll start the tournament at 10-under par. Viktor Hovland is 2nd and will start at 8-under par, followed by Rory McIlroy (7-under), Jon Rahm (6-under) and Lucas Glover (5-under). It goes all the way down to Sam Burns, Emiliano Grillo, Tyrrell Hatton, Jordan Spieth and Sepp Straka at even par.

East Lake has hosted the Tour Championship since 2004, presenting golfers with a challenging course where water hazards come into play on several holes. The toughest part about the venue is its narrow fairways, which are particularly penalizing to miss. It’s a par 70 and 7,346 yards, so it’s also a longer course with just 2 par-5s.

Tour Championship – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 11:55 p.m. ET.

Rory McIlroy (+350)

McIlroy starts the week 3 shots back, which is half as many strokes as he was giving to Scheffler last year when he chased him down and won by 1 stroke. He shot 67 or better in all 4 rounds last year and has as much experience at East Lake as anyone in the field. If there’s a player whot’s going to take down Scheffler (again), it’s McIlroy.

Viktor Hovland (+450)

Hovland is the closest competitor to Scheffler, sitting 2 shots behind him. Fresh off a course-record 61 on Sunday at the BMW Championship, Hovland has the momentum heading into Atlanta. He finished T-5 here 2 years ago and T-15 last year, shooting only 1 round above par in that span. Two shots is a small gap to close and it could flip with a birdie-bogey start on the 1st hole.

Jon Rahm (+800)

Rahm is 4 shots behind Scheffler to start the week but he’s a player who can heat up in a hurry. With 2 rounds of 65 and 2 rounds of 68 in 2021, he finished 2nd to Patrick Cantlay. And though he struggled last year with rounds of 71 on Saturday and Sunday, he did fire a 63 in Round 2.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Tour Championship picks – Contenders

Max Homa (+2800)

Homa will start 6 shots behind, which is the same position McIlroy was in last year when he won, so it’s not impossible. After an opening-round 71 here last year, he shot 62, 66 and 66 to finish T-5. He once held the lead last week at the BMW Championship thanks to an 8-under 62 on Friday, but he backed up a bit on the weekend; he still finished 5th.

Brian Harman (+5000)

Could the magical season from Harman continue with a victory at East Lake?He’s also 6 shots behind Scheffler but he’s only had 2 rounds over 70 in his last 6 events. Harman is as hot as anyone and could heat up even more in Atlanta.

Tour Championship picks – Long shot

Sungjae Im (+12500)

I don’t really love any of the long shots this week with the staggered scoring format, but I’ll take a shot on Im, who’s 8 strokes behind Scheffler. He shot 67, 65, 66 and 66 here last year to finish T-2 with Scheffler, an excellent showing from Im despite not closing the gap all the way.

He opened at +1000 to win and is now at +75000.
