- Thomas has fantastic form at East Lake with a record of 6-2-7-9-3 since his debut in 2016
- Viktor Hovland scores well on form, course form, and all the key metrics
Justin Thomas has what it takes to go on a run this week
When wagering on the Tour Championship you need to consider that it is a 30-man field and that we are now moving from Bentgrass to Bermuda. We have taken a good look at the past data, and we can see that one of the most important metric to be successful at the Tour Championship is Tee to Green, and SG: Off The Tee also needs to be taken into account.
Although Rham is likely to consolidate his position as the World Number 1 with a win of the FedEx Cup, some players can try to make things more interesting, and one of those is, in our opinion, Justin Thomas. He is starting this event six shots back, and although this is not ideal, it can still be in contention. His season hasn’t been particularly impressive, yet recently things have taken a turn for the better as he was fourth at the Northern Trust and was in contention at the BMW with a 66. Looking at key metrics, Thomas was 7th for SG: Tee To Green and also 14th and 5th in the previous two appearances. But the main reason why he is our main pick is that he has fantastic form at East Lake with a record of 6-2-7-9-3. Let’s hope he is going on a run, and the line is excellent.
Viktor Hovland the perfect outsider
If you are looking for an underdog that can cause a surprise, our suggestion is to pick Viktor Hovland. The Norwegian scores well on form, course form, and all the key metrics we have identified above. Hovland was 17th in the BMW Championship and was in contention at The Northern Trust before a disappointing finish. His Tee To Green has improved significantly in recent times, and he does well on these Bermuda surfaces, so it won’t be a surprise if he will be able to be one of the main protagonists this week.
