PGA Tour action returns on Thursday – as Atlanta’s East Lake Golf Course plays host to the Tour Championship.

The Tour Championship has added importance given it will determine the winner of the FedEx Cup – a season-long competition where points are awarded based on finishing position in all PGA Tour sanctioned tournaments.

It is worth noting that the rules have changed – as the Tour Championship features a new format that was introduced this year, with the event being played as a 72-hole stroke-play event with all players starting at even par to determine the winner of the FedExCup. 

Therefore – although Scottie Scheffler leads the FedExCup standings by 3,679 points from Rory McIlroy in second – he won’t have a starting strokes advantage like in years past. 

Despite the above – Scheffler will be particularly motivated as he looks to become the first player in FedExCup history to claim back-to-back titles.

If successful – he will pick up a cool $10million (£7.4m). 

For those who will be watching the Tour Championship closely – let’s take a look at the favourites and multiple Price Boosts on offer with Sky Bet for this highly-anticipated tournament. 

Scottie Scheffler

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is unsurprisingly the best-backed at BOOSTED odds of 7/4 to claim his sixth win of the calendar year.

Scheffler enters the Tour Championship in fantastic form – with the American just days removed from winning the BMW Championship by two shots from Robert MacIntyre on Sunday.

It was the manner in which he won that was most impressive – as he overcame a four-shot deficit on the final day in yet another awe-inspiring performance.

Scheffler also boasts course form at East Lake, having won the Tour Championship there by four shots in 2024.

Will he justify the bookies’ odds and be crowned champion? Or, can one of his 29 opponents cause the upset? We will find out Sunday.

Rory McIlroy

Although he has been a little inconsistent at times this year – 2025 has largely been a great campaign for Rory McIlroy.

The Northern Irishman has registered three wins to his name thus far – including victories at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Players Championship.

However – it was his win in April that was the most significant – as he defeated countryman Justin Rose in a playoff en route to his maiden Masters title.

Additionally, it was a huge monkey off the back for McIlroy as it marked his first major in more than a decade and ensured he completed the elusive career Grand Slam.

As it relates to his chances at the Tour Championship this weekend – he is a 15/2 second-favourite according to Sky Bet.

McIlroy has the joint most Tour Championship titles alongside all-time great Tiger Woods – with the pair having won it three times apiece.

Tommy Fleetwood

The third-favourite in the market with Sky Bet is England’s Tommy Fleetwood at 11/1 odds.

Fleetwood has been in strong form of late – with the 34-year-old coming agonisingly close to claiming his maiden win on the PGA Tour on multiple occasions in recent months.

He was in a prime spot to win the Travelers Championship in Connecticut in June – however – he finished second by a shot after shooting a disappointing 2-over on the final day. 

Fleetwood then squandered another late lead at the St. Jude Championship earlier this month.

Boasting a two-shot lead with just three holes remaining – Fleetwood registered a par-bogey-par finish that saw him overtaken by Justin Rose and J.J. Spaun.

Can he put that behind him and finally get over the hump en route to his first PGA Tour win? Time will tell.

Ludvig Aberg

Ludvig Aberg secured his second career PGA Tour victory in February – with the Swede defeating big-name opposition such as Scheffler, Fleetwood and Justin Thomas to win the Genesis Invitational.

Additionally, although he hasn’t come away with an title, Aberg has been in strong form of late.

The supremely talented 25-year-old has registered a top-10 finish in three of his last four starts – and for those tipping him to build on those performances and reign supreme at the Tour Championship – he is a 16/1 fourth-favourite to be crowned champion.

Russell Henley

Russell Henley won his fifth PGA Tour event in March – as he triumphed at the esteemed Arnold Palmer Invitational by a single shot.

It appears the bookies believe he will be there or thereabouts this weekend – as he enters as an 18/1 fifth-favourite to hoist the trophy.

Henley performed well at the Tour Championship last year – with the American finishing tied fourth.

Price Boosts

In addition to the Price Boost outlined earlier in the article – which requires Scheffler to win at 6/4 – there are a further three boosts on offer with Sky Bet that are generating interest in the betting lines.

They include Scheffler and Fleetwood to both finish top five including ties, Fleetwood and MacIntyre to both shoot 68 or less in round 1, and Collin Morikawa and Henley to both finish top 10 including ties.

The odds for those three bets have been enhanced to 7/2, 7/2 and 9/2 respectively.

Regarding the above boosts – Scheffler and Fleetwood finished top five at the BMW Championship, while MacIntyre and Fleetwood shot 62 and 65 respectively after round 1 at the same event. 

Additionally, Morikawa has recorded four top-10 finishes this calendar year, while Henley has achieved a very impressive nine top-10 finishes in 2025.
