The 2024 Tour Championship is heading into its final round, and the competition is heating up! Three rounds are already in the books, and only one golfer is within five strokes of the lead. Let’s dive into BetMGM Sportsbook's 2024 Tour Championship odds as we gear up for Sunday’s final showdown in Atlanta. Keep checking back throughout the season for the latest PGA Tour picks, predictions, and betting insights.
Scottie Scheffler in Command
Pre-tournament favorite Scottie Scheffler, who started the week at +333, is dominating at 25-under-par. The world’s number one player and two-time Masters champion shot his second consecutive 5-under 66 after an opening 65, extending his lead to five strokes as he heads into the final round at East Lake Golf Club, a par-71 course stretching 7,490 yards. Scheffler is not just aiming for his seventh win of the season but also his 13th career victory. Plus, he's already bagged a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. It’s safe to say Scheffler is about to cap off one of the greatest seasons in PGA Tour history.
Final Pairing Preview
With a five-stroke lead, Scheffler is heavily favored at -1600 to clinch the Tour Championship. However, Collin Morikawa (+1000) isn't too far behind, sitting at 21-under after shooting a 4-under 67 to go with his previous rounds of 66-63. Morikawa, the 27-year-old pro who opened at +2500 to win, will be looking to rally for his seventh career title. This two-time major champ and current No. 9 in Golfweek's rankings is eager to make a push and test Scheffler's lead.
Defending Champion Struggles
On the other hand, defending champion Viktor Hovland, who took the title last year at 27-under, is not faring as well this time around. Currently tied for 13th place at 10-under, Hovland shot rounds of 69-71-65. He opened at +6600 to win but hasn’t quite found the same magic he displayed last year.
Who’s in the Hunt?
As we approach Sunday’s final round, several players are still in the hunt and looking to make a late charge. Here are three other names to watch closely:
-
Sahith Theegala (+30000): Ranked No. 25 by Golfweek, Theegala starts in third place at 17-under after consistent rounds of 67-66-66. He began the week at +12500 and is just nine shots back, making him a dark horse with a lot of potentials to disrupt the leaderboard.
-
Xander Schauffele (+20000): Sitting in fourth place at 16-under, Schauffele has had an up-and-down performance with rounds of 70-64-71. As Golfweek’s No. 2 player, he opened at +240, and despite being ten strokes behind, his experience and skill set could make Sunday interesting.
-
Adam Scott (+150000): Tied for fifth at 15-under, Scott has posted steady rounds of 66-67-68. Ranked No. 47 by Golfweek, Scott opened at +6600 and, while 11 shots back, he’s not one to count out just yet.
Exciting Prop Bets Update
For those keeping an eye on prop bets, a few intriguing options are still on the table as we head into the final round:
-
Ludvig Aberg (+1400 to make top 5): Currently tied for 10th at 11-under, Aberg’s rounds of 71-68-68 have kept him in contention for a top-five finish.
-
Sam Burns (+275 to make top 5): Burns is in seventh place at 14-under with consistent rounds of 67-68-68. He’s in a prime spot to push for a top-five finish if he can capitalize on any openings.
-
Justin Thomas (+300 to make top 10): Thomas sits in 16th place at 8-under after rounds of 66-69-70. A top-10 finish is still within reach, but it will require a strong final round.
