BetMGM has Scheffler as +165 to successfully defend his Tour Championship and FedEx Cup titles, which can come as no great shock after he's won five of his last 10 starts. Three-time FedEx Cup champion Rory McIlroy is +800 and Tommy Fleetwood, who has three top-four finishes among his last five starts, is +1200.

Tour Championship tee times for Thursday's first round at East Lake, featuring Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and more.

McIlroy won two majors and a World Golf Championship in 2014 and didn’t win it. The three times he did win the FedEx Cup, McIlroy was never at the top of the points list throughout the entire postseason until he delivered the goods at East Lake.

Fowler (T8) and Pendrith (T19) are the main two who can punch their tickets to the Tour Championship by making a move up the leaderboard on Sunday. A top-five finish would lock Fowler into a spot in Atlanta, while Pendrith needs to climb into the top 10.
