The FedExCup Playoffs have begun, and new betting markets have opened as a result.
This week kicks off the three-week sprint to the FedExCup, with 69 players teeing it up at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. The top 50 in the points race will advance to next week’s BMW Championship in St. Louis, with the top 30 players making it all the way to the TOUR Championship in Atlanta.
Scottie Scheffler is a clear betting favorite to win this week at TPC Southwind, and it should come as no surprise that he’s also the betting favorite to win the FedExCup. Scheffler enters the postseason at No. 1 in the points race, and he’s listed at +330 to win the FedExCup for the second time in three seasons.
Just behind him is Rory McIlroy, in search of what would be an unprecedented fourth FedExCup title. McIlroy won the season-long title in 2016, 2019 and 2022, and he’s +810 to pair his Masters green jacket with another FedExCup trophy.
Odds to win FedExCup (via DraftKings)
+330: Scottie Scheffler
+810: Rory McIlroy
+1350: Cameron Young
+1600: Xander Schauffele
+1700: Ludvig Åberg, Tommy Fleetwood
+1750: Sam Burns
+1950: Matt Fitzpatrick
As was the case last year, Starting Strokes have been eliminated for the TOUR Championship. That means that all 30 participants will begin on even footing at East Lake Golf Club, with the low 72-hole score in Atlanta also winning the FedExCup.
Oddsmakers at DraftKings have also built out markets on players to win a specific number of tournaments across the three-week postseason. While Scheffler’s lone win to date this year came at The American Express in his first start of 2026, he’s -150 to win at least one of the next three weeks (he’ll defend his title at the BMW Championship, albeit at a different course). Scheffler is +530 to win two of the next three events, while he’s +3400 to pull off a clean sweep and win all three Playoffs events. Only McIlroy (+20000) is listed with odds below 625-to-1 to pull off the trifecta.

If you’re interested in another longshot option, look to TOUR veteran Patrick Rodgers, who will aim to follow in Tommy Fleetwood’s footsteps by breaking a lengthy victory drought in the postseason. Rodgers remains in search of his maiden TOUR win after 334 career starts, and he’ll begin this week at No. 66 in points, needing at least a T8 finish to have a chance to make the 50-man BMW Championship. Rodgers is +75000 to win any event in the Playoffs, one of seven players with odds north of 100-to-1 to win any time over the next three weeks.
Additionally, DraftKings has built out a market with odds on a player to make the 30-man field at the TOUR Championship. While some players near the top of the points list are guaranteed to have a spot in Atlanta, former U.S. Open winner J.J. Spaun is listed at -750 (bet $750 to win $100), beginning the postseason at No. 21 in points. J.T. Poston, who currently sits at No. 30, is listed at +175 – while Robert MacIntyre, No. 31, has far more favorable odds at -124.
Odds to make TOUR Championship (via DraftKings)
-220: Alex Smalley
-162: Tom Kim
-138: Rickie Fowler
-124: Robert MacIntyre
-108: Gary Woodland

+146: Ben Griffin
+175: J.T. Poston
+194: Bud Cauley
+230: Justin Thomas
