The 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs conclude this week with the 2024 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings will compete this week for their share of a $100 million bonus pool with $25 million going to the winner. Scottie Scheffler's dominant six-win season has earned him a two-shot lead over Xander Schauffele to begin the tournament. Scheffler will begin the tournament at 10-under and he's the -115 favorite (bet $115 to win $100) in the 2024 Tour Championship odds. Meanwhile, Justin Thomas (400-1) was the last player to qualify and he'll begin the tournament at even par.
The first round of the 2024 Tour Championship begins on Thursday, and there is no 36-hole cut. Since moving from a points formula to a staggered start stroke-play event in 2019, three of the last five FedEx Cup champions have come from behind in the Tour Championship to win. Before locking in any 2024 Tour Championship picks, Scottie Scheffler props, or golf picks at sites like FanDuel, DraftKings, Underdog Fantasy, PrizePicks, or Pick6, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters -- its third Masters in a row -- and this year's PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
One surprise: Collin Morikawa (28-1) makes a strong run at the title. The 27-year-old is a six-time PGA Tour winner and two-time major champion and he's currently ranked sixth in the Official World Golf Ranking. He'll begin the tournament in a tie for sixth at four-under par with Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, Wyndham Clark and Sam Burns.
After a difficult 2023 season where he slipped outside the top 20 in the world rankings, Morikawa won the Zozo Championship during the PGA Tour fall season and then added six more top-five finishes in 2024, including a T-3 at the Masters. Morikawa has a much better chance to win than his long odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
The model has also examined where Scheffler (-115) finishes. After fighting through the Korn Ferry Tour to earn his card in 2019, Scheffler didn't earn his first win on the PGA Tour until Feb. 2022 at the WM Phoenix Open. However, it's been a whirlwind since then, with Scheffler winning 11 more times over the next 30 months (including two green jackets.)
In 2024, Scheffler has won six times on the PGA Tour and was also the Olympic gold medalist in Paris. However, he's 0-for-14 in his career in FedEx Cup playoff events and he's failed to win the Tour Championship the last two seasons despite starting the tournament with the lead. The model just locked in its Scottie Scheffler Tour Championship picks here.

The model is also targeting four other golfers with odds of 28-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model's picks here .
