Walker recently missed the cut in two consecutive events—in the Wyndham Championship and in The Barclays. Instead of wallowing from those setbacks, however, Walker rebounded with a third-place finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship before notching a T13 at the BMW Championship. And let’s not forget the fact that he won the PGA Championship last July. Walker has two career starts thus far at Eastlake, finishing no lower than T18.
Snedeker has all the motivation to win the Tour Championship. For one, he needs to top the field at East Lake if he wants to take home his second FedEx Cup. He’s not in control of his own destiny this time, but look for him to come focused at East Lake, where he has yet to crack the top 15 in four previous trips there. Snedeker has been inconsistent of late, alternating top 15 finishes with the top 40’s over his last six starts. That stretch includes a T13 at the BMW Championship last week.
Priced at +6,000 to win the FedEx Cup Championship, 38-year-old Kuchar comes to Atlanta on the heels of a T4 performance at BMW Championship. That’s a nice springboard heading to East Lake, as he recently disappointed with a T64 and a T46 at the Barclays and at the Deutsche Bank Championship, respectively. Kuchar has never won the FedEx Tour Championship before with his best finish being a pair of 10th-place finishes back in 2012 and 2015.
