Scottie Scheffler (2.60)

Scheffler is the red-hot favourite heading into East Lake, fresh off his dominant BMW Championship win where he overturned a four-shot deficit with a clutch 81‑foot chip‑in on the 17th. He has made five PGA Tour victories this season, including two majors, the Masters and PGA Championship, and now stands atop the FedEx Cup standings and money list.

Rory McIlroy (8.35)

McIlroy remains an elite threat despite trailing Scheffler in the betting market. He’s already notched major milestones this year, winning the Masters to complete his career Grand Slam and capturing the Players Championship in playoff fashion. His rhythm and form make him the most credible challenger, especially for bettors seeking strong value off the favourite.

Tommy Fleetwood (13.50)

Fleetwood has produced consistent top-10 finishes through the season, often lurking in contention though not clinching victory. His solid baseline gives appeal to the mid-tier odds, ideal for bettors who expect the big guns to falter but still want someone proven to remain in the mix under pressure.

Ludvig Aberg (17.00)

Aberg’s rapid rise includes a milestone win at the Genesis Invitational, highlighted by a closing hole-in-one during his final round. He also briefly held the lead at the Masters before faltering late, showcasing potential and nerves of steel. At 17.00, he’s a high-upside pick for bettors chasing breakout performances.

Russell Henley (19.50)

Henley brings consistency and course familiarity, ranked fourth in the world and entering the Tour Championship after a streak of strong major finishes, including tied 7th at the U.S. Open and top-10s at The Open. While not a headline grabber, his dependable form makes him an interesting long shot with smart expectations.
