Who is the favourite to win the Tour Championship?
There is no better opportunity for world number one Scottie Scheffler to win than in this tournament as he starts at 10 under par.
The American has been given a best price of 5/4 with AKBets.
This is the third consecutive year that Scheffler has entered the tournament in the top spot however, since the format changed in 2019, no player who has started the Tour Championship at the top the leaderboard has gone on to win it.
Second favourite is Xander Schauffele at a best price of 12/5.
Schauffele already has two majors in the bag this year after winning The Open and PGA Championship and has a good record at East Lake, however recent renovations to the course could prevent this being an advantage.
Third favourite is Hideki Matsuyama at 12/1.
Matsuyama automatically qualified for this tournament after his impressive performance in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he took home the win with a score of 17 under par.
However, he recently pulled out of the BMW Championship with lower back pains and whether he is back to 100% isn't clear.
