Scottie Scheffler is looking to close out a stellar PGA Tour season with the FedEx Cup title this week at the 2022 Tour Championship. The event tees off Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and the Masters champion and world No. 1 will be aiming for the fifth tour victory of his career. It also would be his fifth of the season, and he will start the week with a two-stroke lead as the current FedEx Cup leader. The 26-year-old tied for fifth at last week’s BMW Championship, which was enough to hold off tournament winner Patrick Cantlay at the top of the standings. Cantlay, the reigning FedEx Cup champion, will start at 8 under par. Among others with a realistic chance to claim the title are Will Zalatoris (-7), Xander Schauffele (-6) and Sam Burns (-5). Rory McIlroy is among a quintet starting at 4 under, and he is looking to win his third FedEx Cup title after taking the crown in 2016 and 2019.
Scheffler is the 12-5 favorite to win the FedEx Cup title in the latest 2022 Tour Championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook, followed by Cantlay (4-1) and Xander Schauffele (15-2). In the odds to win the tournament without the starting strokes, Caesars lists Rory McIlroy (8-1) ahead of both Scheffler (10-1) and Cantlay (10-1). Jon Rahm (10-1), Schauffele (10-1) and Justin Thomas (14-1) also are among the favorites to win Tour Championship 2022 without starting strokes.
