Tour Championship odds: FedExCup up for grabs

Odds courtesy of OddsShark.com

The most unusual PGA Tour season in history comes to an end this weekend from East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta with the Tour Championship. The winner of the tournament also takes home the FedExCup and its $15 million grand prize. Only the Top 30 in points after this past Sunday’s BMW Championship qualified, and with such a tiny field there is no cut.

Normally, golf falls off the map for casual bettors following the Tour Championship with the start of football season. The PGA Tour then starts its next wraparound season with the fall series events, which are somewhat lower tier and rarely draw the game’s biggest stars. However, in this coronavirus-altered year, the U.S. Open and Masters are still to be played (technically part of next season now) so the likes of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy will still be competing. Neither Tiger nor Phil qualified for the Tour Championship, though.

The Tour originally set up the FedExCup playoffs where the Tour Championship winner probably would also win the FedExCup, but a few times there was little drama because the Tour Championship winner didn’t win the Cup.
