Sure, Tiger Woods is not going to be part of the TOUR Championship this week, as his season is now over. But that doesn’t mean your interest in the last leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs should wane, as there are plenty of players to watch out for, including the following three sleepers we have listed below. Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, and Justin Thomas are the favorites but will they get outpaced by a one of these players at East Lake GC? Hedge your bets accordingly!
Kisner has made the cut in all of his last five starts and in five of his last six. He had a nice back-to-back showing at the PGA Championship and The Northern Trust, wherein he had a T3 and a T4, respectively. Last week, he finished with a T25 at the BMW Championship. He’ll start the TOUR Championship with a score of one under par. Kisner finished third at the TOUR Championship in 2017 and ninth in 2019.
Im hasn’t been in terrific form of late, as he missed the cut at The Northern Trust then followed that up with a T56 at the BMW Championship. Nevertheless, he’ll start the TOUR Championship four under par. Im, who won the Honda Classic back in March and finished T9 at the Wyndham Challenge mid-August, finished 19th in last year’s edition of the TOUR Championship at East Lake GC.
Horschel recovered from a missed cut at The Northern Trust by coming up with a T33 showing at the BMW Championship last week. He also had a solo-second finish at the Wyndham Championship. Horschel has also won the TOUR Championship in 2014 and finished no worse than seventh in his other two appearances at East Lake GC.
