Add The New York Post on Google The 2026 PGA Tour season comes to an end this weekend at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
The TOUR Championship features a field of the 30 top players from the previous eight months, with the winner taking home a whopping $10 million.
Scottie Scheffler, two weeks removed from an eight-stroke victory at the St. Jude Championship to kick off the FedEx Cup Playoffs, is in his usual perch atop the betting odds.
Scheffler, who owns +350 odds to win his second TOUR Championship, hasn’t been as dominant in 2026 as he was in the previous two campaigns, but he’s been the chalk in every tournament he’s entered. That streak continues at East Lake.
Rory McIlroy, whose late surge fell short at last week’s BMW Championship, is the only other golfer with single-digit odds at FanDuel Sportsbook. The Northern Irishman is +950 to win his fourth FedEx Cup.
The man who held off McIlroy, Wyndham Clark, is the fourth-favorite at 16/1, just behind Xander Schauffele (12/1).
Last year’s winner, Tommy Fleetwood, checks in at 20/1.
The format of this tournament has changed plenty over the years, but the current iteration is straightforward. Every player starts at even par, and whoever wins the event is crowned the FedEx Cup Champion and takes home the 10 million smackaroos. Not bad for four days’ work.
It’s been a resurgent year for Matt Fitzpatrick.
After spending much of 2025 in the wilderness as he struggled with some injuries, the Englishman has been one of the best players in the world this year.
Fitzpatrick has three wins, two runners-up and seven top-5 finishes in 20 outings in 2026.
He wasn’t in contention at Bellerive last week, but that’s not that concerning when you take a step back and see three finishes of fourth or better in seven starts since June 14.
Russell Henley has put up some big numbers at East Lake. Getty Images Russell Henley (30/1, FanDuel) It shouldn’t be a shock that Russell Henley seems to love the conditions at East Lake.
The 37-year-old hails from Macon, 85 miles southeast of Atlanta, is a proud Georgia Bulldog and still lives just two hours down the road in Columbus. This is his backyard.
Henley finished T4 here in 2024 and was a co-runner-up last year, and his Strokes Gained numbers only lag behind one player (Xander Schauffele) in this field.
But it’s not just the course history that makes Henley terrific value this week. He’s also been in strong form for essentially all of 2026, finishing 12th or better in three of his last five outings.
Here’s the thing about Justin Rose: He rarely gives you any indication of when he’s going to pop off next.
His lone win in 2026, which was at the Farmers Insurance in February, came on the heels of a missed cut.
Rose’s memorable runner-up finish at last year’s Masters came after another MC at The Players and a T47 at the Valspar.
He took nearly a month off before his victory at the 2025 St. Jude Championship, where he was 100/1.
Rose’s recent results are middling, but he’s got plenty of positive experience on this course, and we know that he has a habit of saving his best for the biggest tournaments on the calendar.
