Golf Betting – The Tour Championship Odds
Tiger Woods will be looking to add two more titles to his list of career accomplishments this week when he takes to the East Lake Golf Course in Atlanta, Georgia for The TOUR Championship. Not only will Woods be trying to win that prestigious tournament, but he’ll also be trying to take the PGA Tour’s first-ever FedExCup points championship.
Anyone doing some golf betting knows that it’ll be hard to wager on someone else accomplishing either one of those tasks. Woods cruised to the win in the BMW Championship at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club on the weekend, shooting a final-round 63 to beat Aaron Baddeley by two strokes. Steve Stricker, Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Tim Clark, Stewart Cink, and Camilo Villegas rounded out the Top 8 on the weekend.
That victory moved Woods into first place in the current FedExCup standings, a lead he assumed from Phil Mickelson (who skipped the Cog Hill event for personal reasons). In fact, Mickelson dropped into third place in the standings behind both Woods and Stricker. Here’s how the Top 10 of the FedExCup points race looks after Cog Hill . . .
01 Tiger Woods — 112,733
02 Steve Stricker — 109,600
03 Phil Mickelson — 108,613
04 Rory Sabbatini — 103,588
05 K.J. Choi — 103,100
06 Aaron Baddeley — 102,800
07 Adam Scott — 100,227
08 Jim Furyk — 99,838
09 Vijay Singh — 99,214
10 Sergio Garcia — 98,277
Here are the points that are on the line in THE TOUR Championship this weekend . . .
First Place — 10,300
Second Place — 6,200
Third Place — 3,900
Fourth Place — 2,800
Fifth Place — 2,300
And so on, down to the 30th-place finisher, who will pick up 395 points. That means only Woods, Stricker, Mickelson, Sabbatini, and Choi have a mathematical chance of winning the $10 million FedExCup prize, although Sabbatini and Choi would both need to win the tournament and hope that Woods somehow finishes at the back of the field.
The other 20 golfers who have qualified for The TOUR Championship are Geoff Ogilvy, Zach Johnson, Charles Howell III, Ernie Els, Brandt Snedeker, Justin Rose, Woody Austin, Mark Calcavecchia, Scott Verplank, Hunter Mahan, Brett Wetterich, Boo Weekley, John Rollins, Stewart Cink, Jonathan Byrd, Robert Allenby, Tim Clark, Villegas, Heath Slocum, and Padraig Harrington (who didn’t play the Cog Hill tourney).
Only four players in this week’s field have won this tournament in the past. Scott is the defending champion, while Singh won in 2002, Mickelson in 2000, and Woods in 1999. So where is Woods on this week’s golf lines? He’s the +120 favorite as he guns for the double crown.
Here are the rest of this week’s golf odds to get the victory in Atlanta . . .

East Lake Golf Course was supposed to host a pro-am event on Wednesday, but that event was cancelled because of the poor conditions of the course’s greens (a heat wave has been blamed for those issues). The 30 players in THE TOUR championship have also been banned from stepping foot on the greens before they tee off Thursday. That could add an extra wrinkle to what will be the most lucrative tourney of the season.
The PGA Tour will stage the Turning Stone Resort Championship from September 20-23 at Atunyote Golf Club in Verona, New York, but the next big event on the schedule is The Presidents Cup, which will take place from September 27-30 at The Royal Montreal.
