Wagering on the Tour Championship – FedEx Cup

Bookmark and Share by D.S. Williamson

The U.S. Team came through with a Ryder Cup victory last weekend, but there’s no rest for some of the players in the Ryder Cup, as well as online golf betting fans, as the FedEx Cup playoffs come to an end this weekend in The Tour Championship.

Even though Vijay Singh has built an insurmountable lead by taking the first two events in this playoff, there are plenty of other golfers out there ready to take a step towards second or third place honors. There’s also a lot of money at stake as this is a $7,000,000 tournament in its own right.

Which golfers provide the best value from an online betting point-of-view?

Let’s get to it!

Best Online Wagering Options to Win the Tour Championship FedEx Cup

1. Sergio Garcia - - online betting odds + 900 - - Garcia truly disappointed in the Ryder Cup. He will be looking to make amends in this tournament. He has no chance of taking out Singh for the top spot but there’s a lot of money to be won for finishing second in the FedEx Cup standings. Also, did I mention that this is a $7,000,000 purse? Garcia should be fired up after letting Anthony Kim beat him like a drum last weekend.

2. Mike Weir - - online betting odds + 1800 - - Weir is a former winner of the FedEx Cup is currently in fifth place and has been playing very well. His online wagering odds make him an overlay in this spot. That means he’s definitely worth a bet.

3. Vijay Singh - - online betting odds + 450 - - The BetUS Sportsbook online golf odds are way to low on Vijay to garner any of my online betting dollars, but while a lot of other great golfers were giving it their all last weekend in the Ryder Cup, Vijay was resting himself, waiting for this weekend to take it to the rest of the field and pick up another huge paycheck. He’s worth a look again because he’s been hot.

4. Anthony Kim - - online betting odds + 900 - - Kim was fantastic last weekend. This kid is awesome. He’s worth a look to win every time he steps onto the golf course. I truly believe that with El Tigre out of last weekend’s Ryder Cup, Kim, along with some other young golfers, had a chance to really step it up and show golf betting fans how good they are. Kim did it. If he wins this, then his popularity could soar.

5. Jim Furyk - - online betting odds + 800 - - Furyk is as consistent as any golfer on the tour. I love how he just goes out and plays. He hasn’t won a tournament this year which means he could put this one into his win column just because, like always, he’s going to be close in the end.

6. Camilo Villegas - - online betting odds + 1200 - - Remember this guy? Yeah. He won the last PGA Tour event by dominating some very good golfers. He’s yet another terrific young golfer that could make things tough for some of the veterans in this thing.

Good Luck!
