Golf betting tips for The Tour Championship (in more detail):
Rory McIlroy:
To win outright (2 points win @ 3/1).
Current form (last 5 starts): T7 – 1 – T6 – T3 – T4.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): N/A due to the format of the FedEx Cup play-offs.
Reasons to believe – Rory McIlroy:
“Rory is in great form, with 9 top 10 finishes in a row. He also loves playing this course, having won the Tour Championship here last year. He has a good record in this playoff format too, having won from both a -4 and -5 start. This week he starts at -7, only 3 behind the leader.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Max Homa:
To win outright (2 points win @ 20/1).
Current form (last 5 starts): T21 – T12 – T10 – T6 – T5.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): N/A due to the format of the FedEx Cup play-offs.
Reasons to believe – Max Homa:
“Homa’s current form reads well and has been steadily improving over the past few weeks. He starts this week at -4 (6 shots off the lead), so certainly not out of it, but he will need to shoot a round like last years 62 to have a realistic chance of winning.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Xander Schauffele:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 25/1 – 5 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T19 – T42 – T17 – T24 – T8.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): N/A due to the format of the FedEx Cup play-offs.
Reasons to believe – Xander Schauffele:
“Another player who loves it here and knows the course well. He has won here before and also registered five, top-five finishes. However, he is starting 7 shots off the lead, so will need to get off to a flying start if he wants to contend for the title.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Russell Henley:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 50/1 – 5 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T35 – MC – T2 – T6 – T8.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): N/A due to the format of the FedEx Cup play-offs.
Reasons to believe – Russell Henley:
“Starting the tournament at three under par, he will need to make a fast start if he wants to contend for the title. However, his form is excellent, with three top-10 finishes in a row since missing the cut at the Open. At 50/1, he is a great each-way bet.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Sungjae Im:
Each-way (1 point e/w @ 80/1 – 5 places, 1/5 odds).
Current form (last 5 starts): T20 – MC – T14 – T6 – 7.
Tournament form (last 5 starts): N/A due to the format of the FedEx Cup play-offs.
Reasons to believe – Sungjae Im:
“Im had a strong finish here last year, finishing in second place. However, he is starting from a bit further back this year, at two under par. Nevertheless, every year since this format was introduced, a player starting at two under par has finished in the each-way place positions, so don’t write him off just yet.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
