Rory McIlroy is one of the best bets at the Tour Championship.
I can easily see a day in the not-too-distant future when Korn Ferry events or amateur matches take away a market share of the audience from these limited-field, no-cut events, where someone wins, someone loses and nobody’s life really changes to an unimaginable degree.
It is the reality, though, especially in a world where elite-level players have been consistently walking away from the PGA Tour in favor of LIV. Whatever it takes to keep the best talents around, I suppose. Though I do have a hard time imagining this benefits the fans in the long run. In any case, let’s get to the picks for this week’s Tour Championship, as I’ll be here at East Lake Golf Club throughout the week to keep a close eye on the proceedings.Most players might feel a bit daunted to start the week a half-dozen strokes behind the leader. Maybe they’d even blame an imperfect format and never quite be in the right frame of mind, knowing they’d be chasing right from the opening tee shot.Rory McIlroy during the BMW Championship.
Throw in the karma narrative of the PGA Tour’s most vocal leader winning the season-ending title in the most tumultuous year ever and I like the idea of playing McIlroy as a chaser.Fresh off a weekend at the BMW Championship during which he posted 10 birdies without a single bogey, it might feel like too little, too late at this point in the season for one of the world’s most talented players who’s often left something to be desired. But, he’s obviously firing on all cylinders right now.
