Who will win the 2023 Tour Championship? FedEx Cup playoffs updated odds explored

The 2023 FedEx Cup playoffs enter its final this weekend with the 2023 Tour Championship. The golfer event being held at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta will decide the FedEx Cup season’s ultimate winner. The event set to tee off on Thursday, August 24 will have the top 30 players in FedEx Cup standings on its field.

Unsurprisingly, FedEx Cup points and Official World Golf Rankings leader Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win the 2023 Tour Championship. According to SportsLine’s updated odds, the PGA Tour star comes into the season’s final weekend with +140 odds. The 27-year-old American golfer will begin play on Thursday at 10-under-par and is expected to end his season on a high.

However, Scheffler is closely followed by ace golfer Rory McIlroy and last week’s BMW Championship winner Viktor Hovland. While McIlroy starts play at the Tour Championship at 7-under, Hovland will begin at 8-under. The duo has + 330 and + 500 odds respectively.

Jon Rahm (+ 800), Patrick Cantlay (+ 1600), Max Homa (+ 2800) and Xander Schauffele (+ 3000) are some other big names to watch out for this weekend. Jordan Spieth is one of the longshot favorites with + 18000 odds.
