Tour Championship: Preview, betting tips & how to watch

It all comes down to this.

This week the PGA Tour reaches its finale for 2021/22 with the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.

Whoever wins this week will also be walking off as the new FedEx Cup champion, with the top 30 players in the standings fighting it out for glory.

The format for this season-ending battle is a little different.

The player with the most FedEx Cup points will start the week on ten-under par, second place begins on eight-under, third at seven-under and so on, with players ranked 26-30 beginning the week at level par.

Patrick Cantlay currently leads the standings, but it’s still all to play for.

Let’s take a look at what we can expect…

The bunkered Bet

Sam Burns (22/1): The format of the Tour Championship makes it harder for someone starting down the standings to get into contention, but don’t be surprised to see Burns make a charge. He’ll start five back of Cantlay – and he has every chance of making up the ground.
