Outrights
| Player | Points | Type | UK Odds | Places | Outright US Odds |
| Wyndham Clark | 3 | EW Tour Champs | 50/1 | 3 | +5000 |
| Sam Burns | 2 | EW Tour Champs | 40/1 | 3 | +5000 |
| Wyndham Clark | 3 | Without Starting Strokes | 26/1 | 4 | +2600 |
| Sepp Straka | 2 | Without Starting Strokes | 60/1 | 4 | +6000 |
As its a limited field we are going to set up the predictions in 2 ways:
1. Picks to win the Tour Championship itself.
&
2.To win without the starting strokes element.
Most sportsbooks offer these 2 options.
Obviously Scottie’s dominance is reflected in his pricing and Xander isn’t too far behind.
With this in mind we will be looking “as always” to the value proposition.
