Brooks Koepka – 8/1

West Valentine – Brooks Koepka – I’m going with Koepka. Looking at the field, the course, and the prestige of the event, I think Brooks will want to add one more big win to the season.

Jon Rahm – 10/1

Matthew Hirst – Jon Rahm – I’m taking Rahm-bo this week. Granted, playoffs make for an atmosphere in which virtually any player in the field could pull out the W, but Rahm’s game as of late is HOT. His game is so hot that, honestly, I had him winning The Northern Trust last weekend going into Sunday. He ultimately fell short, but still finished T3. Oh well, just another Top-10 for Jon.

Let’s take a look at Rahm’s last few months. He finished T9 at Augusta and won the following week at the Zurich Classic before missing two cuts in May at the PGA Championship and Charles Schwab Challenge. Since that hiccup of a month, he finished T3, T11, 7, and T3 in PGA Tour events. During that time, he also played a couple of European Tour events in which he finished T2 at the Andalucía Masters and won the Irish Open.

So, his last win came in the first week of July…? I think Rahm-bo might be ready to punch another one in.

Justin Rose – 16/1

Chris O’Day – Justin Rose – I think it would be fantastic to see someone repeat as the FedEx Cup Champion. Already sitting 12th, a win would launch him easily into first place. With three top-ten finishes over his last four events, I think Rose keeps the hot streak rolling heading into the Tour Championship.
