2021 Tour Championship odds: FedEx Cup Playoffs selection, predictions from model called seven majors
The FedEx Cup playoffs come to a conclusion this week at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings in 2021 will emerge at the Tour Championship 2021. Even big championship money pales in comparison to the top prize of $ 15 million awarded to win the Tour Championship. Patrick Cantlay sits in the driver ’s seat to take home the main prize after winning last week at the BMW Championship. Cantlay enters the Tour Championship 2021 with a starting score of 10 under par, two shots ahead of Tony Finau in second place.
Cantlay is the 4-1 co-favorite along with Jon Rahm, who starts at six under par, in the 2021 Tour Championship odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Finau is at 15-2. Bryson DeChambeau starts at seven under after missing several chances to win in a playoff last week and he is listed at 5-1.

SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been glowing red since the PGA Tour resumed in June last year. In fact, it’s up to almost $ 10,000 on its best games since reboot, and nail tournament after tournament.
At the 2021 Open Championship, McClure’s best play included Collin Morikawa, who won straight, even though he was listed as a massive 40-1 long shot. He was also all the way through Daniel Berger (+220) and Emiliano Grillo (+700), who finished inside the top-20. McClure’s best bet yielded over $ 2,200 at the 2021 Open Championship.
In addition, McClure’s model was everywhere on Jon Rahm’s (10-1) first victory in major championships of his career at the US Open in 2021. Rahm was two strokes from the lead on his way into the weekend, but the model still portrayed him as the winner. And at Masters 2021, McClure Rahms (+250) set top-five goals in his best games as well as Corey Conners (+550) top-10 showing.
The same model has also nailed a full seven majors into the weekend. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
Now that the Tour Championship field in 2021 is locked, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times and the results were surprising. Go to SportsLine now to see the expected 2020 Tour Championship leaderboard.
The model’s top 2021 Tour Championship predictions
A big surprise the model is calling for at the Tour Championship 2021: DeChambeau, an eight-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, barely cracks the top five. DeChambeau comes up with a terrific playoff defeat to Cantlay at the BMW Championship.
The 27-year-old continues to smash the ball from the tee, averaging 323 yards per carry. Drive this season, which is first on tour. DeChambeau’s length from the tee has also placed him in the top five in birdie averages (4.49), scoring averages (69,730) and hits achieved: tee-to-green (1,422).
However, DeChambeau hits just 54.21 percent of the fairways off the tee this season, which ranks 182nd on tour. His inability to find the fairway off the tee has resulted in DeChambeau finishing T-31 or worse in three of his last five starts. He is not a strong choice to win it all and there are far better values in the Tour Championship 2021 field.
Another surprise: Abraham Ancer, a 28-1 long shot, is running strong for the title. He has a much better chance of winning it all than his odds suggest, so he is a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Ancer starts the Tour Championship 2021 six strokes back by Cantlay on four under, after closing the normal season on an impressively hot streak.
Ancer started to catch fire in early May with a fifth place finish at the Valspar Championship, which he followed up with a second place finish at the Wells Fargo Championship the following week. He had also finished T-8 at the PGA Championship and fourth at the Travelers Championship before achieving the biggest win of his career at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. He added another top-10 finish last week at the BMW Championship to finish eighth in the FedEx Cup standings and there are only five golfers ahead of him starting the week, making him a serious threat to win it all over East Lake.
