Scottie Scheffler is a massive favorite to win the season-ending Tour Championship for a second straight year as the FedExCup Playoffs come to a close at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Scheffler is a +150 consensus proposition, with Rory McIlroy the only golfer at less than 10-1 in the golf odds.

Let's take a look at the Tour Championship odds and field for August 21-24.

Scottie Scheffler (+150) may be riding momentum into the Tour Championship after winning the BMW Championship last weekend, but he won't have the advantage of starting strokes, as was the case last year.

All 30 golfers will start at even-par when they tee off on Thursday, including three-time FedExCup winner Rory McIlroy (+850). 

Looking at the FedExCup standings, books are bearish on No. 3-ranked J.J. Spaun (+3300) and No. 4 Justin Rose (+4500), with No. 5 Tommy Fleetwood sitting as a +1200 third-choice after finishing T-4 with Sam Burns (+2800) at the BMW Championship.
