Tour Championship Odds, Tips and Props for 2026: Scheffler Still Top Pick

Here are our Tour Championship odds, tips and predictions for this weekend's climactic finale of the PGA Tour season.

With some of the biggest names in golf still competing, we're sure to witness some incredible play - and maybe a few surprises along the way.

Below is our full preview, as well as some of the top odds ahead of all the action.

Tour Championship Preview

The FedExCup season reaches its climax this week as the PGA TOUR returns to East Lake Golf Club for the 2026 Tour Championship.

Only the top 30 players have survived the Playoffs cut, and every golfer in the field begins Thursday’s opening round at even par.

With four rounds to determine the FedExCup champion, the pressure, stakes and intensity are at their highest.

Scottie Scheffler still the man to beat

Scottie Scheffler arrives as the No. 1 seed for the fifth consecutive year, continuing a remarkable run of consistency across the past eight months, meaning he is still the firm favourite with most golf betting sites.

His form has been steady despite battling Hand, Foot and Mouth disease during the BMW Championship, and he now has a chance to claim his second FedExCup title.

But the format means every player in the field retains a genuine opportunity to win golf’s biggest season‑long prize.

Some late heroics see three players beat the cut

Three players forced their way into the top 30 at last week’s BMW Championship.

Gary Woodland surged from No. 31 to No. 18 with a T4 finish, Patrick Cantlay climbed from No. 43 to No. 19 after a brilliant closing stretch, and Robert MacIntyre jumped from No. 36 to No. 25.

Their late-season momentum adds further intrigue to a field already stacked with elite contenders.

Fleetwood aiming for a repeat victory

Tommy Fleetwood enters the finale ranked ninth as he attempts to become the first back‑to‑back FedExCup champion.

Two rookies - Kristoffer Reitan and Alex Fitzpatrick - have also reached East Lake, joining a group of six debutants.

Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy makes his ninth straight Tour Championship appearance as he chases an unprecedented fourth FedExCup crown.

East Lake, a par‑70 layout stretching 7,490 yards, has crowned every FedExCup champion since 2007.

Its demanding design rewards precision, patience and strategic discipline - qualities that will be essential across four pressure‑filled rounds.

Tour Championship Tips

Back Rory McIlroy to Win – 10.00

McIlroy thrives at East Lake and has repeatedly delivered under FedExCup pressure.

His ball‑striking has sharpened in recent weeks, and his experience in season finales gives him a genuine chance to upset Scheffler.

Winner Without Scheffler: Xander Schauffele – 9.00

Schauffele is one of the most reliable performers at East Lake, boasting exceptional course history.

If Scheffler maintains his form, this market provides a cleaner path for Schauffele backers.

Winning Margin: 1 Stroke Exactly – 3.50

Tour Championships often produce tight finishes, with pressure magnifying every mistake.

A one‑stroke victory is a realistic scenario given the strength and balance of the field.

Patrick Cantlay Top Contender

Cantlay’s late surge at the BMW Championship suggests he is peaking at the right time.

His consistency and calm under pressure make him a strong candidate in both outright and “without Scheffler” markets.
