FedEx Cup: Scottie Scheffler's huge lead in points negated under new Tour Championship format
Despite a substantial lead in points, Scottie Scheffler has no starting stroke advantage in the Tour Championship. The "Starting Strokes" format was eliminated mid-season, giving all 30 players a chance to win the FedEx Cup.
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.
Scottie Scheffler eyes history at East Lake, but PGA Tour pros like Spaun, Rory, Fleetwood and a dark horse could flip the FedEx Cup script.
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.
