The PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs have reached their final stop, and all that is left to decide is who will be crowned Tour Championship winner.

The best 30 players from the PGA Tour have battled to make it this far with the chance to claim the $10 million top prize their one remaining goal.

However, to make that happen, they will have to squeeze past the former runaway FedEx Cup leader and the outright sportsbook favorite, Scottie Scheffler.

It won't be as hard as previous years, though, because the Starting Strokes format has disappeared and everyone will start their first of four rounds at East Lake at even par - even Scheffler.

Below, we have listed the outright winner odds for every player in the field this week as well as our picks to win the 2025 Tour Championship.

Pick One: Rory McIlroy +800 To Win @ BetMGM

I can’t tell you not to back Scottie Scheffler this week but who else could be worth a look aside from the World No.1? Step in Rory McIlroy. The Masters champion said he found something on the back nine at Caves Valley where he made four birdies in his final eight holes to finish T12 at the BMW. McIlroy is a three-time FedEx Cup winner and I wouldn’t back against him making it four. The Northern Irishman loves East Lake so I like his chances this week, especially as it feels like he is due another big week having had a winless summer after his third victory of 2025 in Augusta.

Pick Two: Russell Henley +2000 To Win @ BetMGM

Henley is ranked fourth in the world right now and could certainly be the man to spoil Scottie Scheffler’s party this weekend. The man from just south of Atlanta was fourth here last year in terms of 72 hole scores and T13th in 2023, and is currently on a six-event run of finishing inside the top-17. He also has a runner-up finish in that spell at the Travelers Championship.

The 36-year-old is undoubtedly the most underrated player in the men’s game right now so don’t be surprised if he is the man lifting the FedEx Cup on Sunday evening.

Pick One: Scottie Scheffler +165 To Win @ BetMGM

If you have X number of dollars to bet and you want to put half on any player in the 30-man field, I'd heartily recommend putting them on Scottie Scheffler. His odds are possibly the lowest they've been all season, but because they're positive and he's such a cheat code right now, I still think it's worth a punt.

It doesn't matter who his caddie is or where he's playing or even - at times - how he's playing, Scheffler finds a way to get the job done. At a course which requires all areas of a player's game to be on point, there is only one man you can feel completely confident in.

Pick Two: Tommy Fleetwood +1200 @ BetMGM

If there is one other player who has been almost as consistent as Scheffler in the Playoffs, at least, it's Tommy Fleetwood. The Englishman has averaged 67 strokes per round through the first two FedEx Cup Playoff events and very nearly tasted success on the PGA Tour at the FedEx St Jude Championship.

He said he would remain positive despite the failure, and he did by coming out and finishing T4th at the BMW Championship days later. Apparently unshaken by a couple of recent near misses, I would love to see Fleetwood snatch the Tour Championship from under the nose of Scheffler and stick it to all those who continue to doubt him.
