Pretty much a regular
There’s probably some value in the guys that are starting at -4 and -3.. but I just don’t know that I’m even interested. With the way DJ is playing, and Rahm, it seems pretty likely one of them wins, and they’re like 3-1. Might just pass on the whole week and wait for football.

I thought the tour changed it so that the winner of the tournament wins the cup too. No more FedEx points for winning

Rory went into East Lake last year at -5, runner up Xander started at -4. JT started at -10, finished 3rd. Cantlay started at -8, finished T-21. DJ finished in last place after starting at -4. I think for winner purposes, anything worse than -4 starting position will be a stretch, though Rory is intriguing. He won by 4 strokes last year. I kind of like Webb and Berger. Doesn't Berger play much better on Bermuda greens?

Yeah, without looking I think rory won by 4 strokes after being 5 back initially or something.
I like the mid range guys like xander/hatton, and honestly matsuyama again

That was my point. No idea how Rory is 100% focused here. I don't know the exact timelines, but you can not wager on him.
Would love some of your input here for a big pool I’m in. You have a $60,000 budget and must pick 6 guys. Who are you taking? Winning team has the lowest cumulative score amongst their 6 golfers, and there are various bonus points handed out for the higher you finish on the leaderboard. Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't take anyone under Xander at -3 to win.....and thats really stretching it.
I do like JT. Webb may have some value. And I really like Berger on almost any course.
DJ is so hot right now that it's tough to put much money on any win bets, But, I side with Rahm over him.

Just amazing
Only 30 players remain for the season-ending Tour Championship, with the top finisher this week in Atlanta earning $15 million. Every player in the field will leave East Lake Golf Club with at least $395,000, making it a lucrative week for the few that have made it to the third leg of the playoffs.

I'm adding this play
Ryan Palmer (+130) over Abraham Ancer
At age 43, Palmer is the oldest player in this week's field by seven years. Ancer, meanwhile, is making his tournament debut. But there's reason to side with the wily vet at an appetizing price in this matchup, as Palmer finished seventh in his most recent East Lake appearance (2014) while posting all four rounds in the 60s. He also posted a runner-up finish at the Memorial and a T-15 result at the WGC event in Memphis, both against loaded fields. Ancer finished second at Harbour Town but hasn't done much since, finishing outside the top 30 in his last three starts including the PGA and both playoff events. Palmer's balky putter can sometimes be an issue, but in this case his mix of course knowledge and recent form is good enough to side with an underdog with a few gray hairs.

I'd have English for that price in any field
Three guys to watch at the top for me. Many guys still in contention, and going to be a great finish.
DJ - he’s in a zone, and no reason to believe that will stop. Slim lead - can be hang on?
Xander doesn’t necessarily go out and shoot the low round on any given day, but man, he is as steady as it gets just whittling away. That’s his game.
Justin Thomas - if he has an above average R3 and R4 with his putter, he’ll win this.
Tough to ignore Xander and Thomas at 5-1.
