World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has won three of the past six FedExCup playoff events on the PGA Tour

The main portion of the 2026 PGA Tour season, as well as the FedExCup playoffs, end this weekend at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta with the Tour Championship. The top 30 in points all are set to play the 72-hole stroke play event – it was changed back to that format last year. The tournament/FedExCup winner gets a cool prize of $10 million and a five-year PGA Tour exemption.

CBS Sports has weekend coverage, and fans can try golf betting on the top sports betting apps if they want to get in on the action. Fans who want to wager on golf can do so with the latest FanDuel promo code and get up to $350 in bonus bet resets: A total of three golfers moved into the top 30 in points last Sunday at the BMW Championship in St. Louis: Gary Woodland jumped from No. 31 to No. 18 and will make his first start in this event since 2019; Patrick Cantlay, the 2021 Tour Championship winner, moved from No. 43 to No. 19; and Robert MacIyntre jumped from No. 36 to No. 25.

Three in means three out, and those unlucky guys who will miss out on the Tour Championship are Kurt Kitayama, Rickie Fowler and Bud Cauley. There are six debutants playing the Tour Championship in Ryan Gerard, Min Woo Lee, Alex Smalley, Ryan Fox and rookies Kristoffer Reitan and Alex Fitzpatrick. Almost impossibly, no player has repeated in this event.

England's Tommy Fleetwood won last year at 18-under 262 for his first (and still only) PGA Tour win. He joined Chad Campbell (2003) in making the Tour Championship his first Tour victory. Fleetwood became only the fourth golfer in history to finish top-four in every playoff event in a season, and his scoring average last year of 66.4 was the fourth-lowest in a single FedExCup playoffs all-time.

He is +1850 to go back-to-back and become the first repeat champion of the FedExCup as well. He is one of seven past Tour Championship winners in the field. Bet $5+ and get $200 in bonus bets instantly when you bet on the BMW Championship at DraftKings: Who wins PGA Tour Player of the Year?

That's probably up for grabs entering this week, and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (+340 to win here) might get it for a fifth straight season. He won the first playoff event in Memphis and was the 2024 champion of this event in winning his lone FedExCup title. That '24 tournament was the last where guys started with a certain score – Scheffler started that event in the lead at 10 under and finished 30 under.
