Johnson and Spieth are the two highest-ranked players in the field and they&#8217;re both playing some outstanding golf of late. Johnson has finished in the top-18 in five of his last six starts, including a stunning triumph at the Northern Trust golf event last month.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson&#8217;s recent form, however, pales in comparison to the stretch Spieth is enjoying right now. The reigning Open champion has recorded two victories and a couple of runner-up finishes in his last seven PGA Tour events. Spieth finished seventh at last week&#8217;s BMW Championship to take the lead in the FedEx Cup standings. Spieth is pegged at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/tour-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+450<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to win the Tour Championship this week.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>High-Value Sleepers \u2013 Charley Hoffman (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/tour-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+4,000<\/a>) and Tony Finau (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/tour-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+5,000<\/a>)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Looking for a worthy sleeper this week? How about Charley Hoffman? He just nabbed an at-large selection for the Presidents Cup and will look to impress captain Steve Stricker in the year&#8217;s final Tour event. Hoffman has not tasted victory this season but he already has six top-5s this year. Can he finally end his title drought at East Lake this week? He is pegged at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/tour-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>+4,000<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to do just that.<\/p>\n<p>Another golfer who\u2019s primed for a huge performance this week is Tony Finau. He qualified for the Tour Championship with a sparkling 64 in the final round of the BMW Championship. That showing vaulted him from 39th on the FedEx Cup standings to No. 24.\u00a0Finau\u2019s prodigious length off the tee is the main reason why he\u2019s rolling right now. He\u2019s 10th in the PGA Tour in driving distance, averaging a whopping 309.4 yards per drive this season.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Long Shot \u2013 Jhonattan Vegas (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/tour-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+10,000<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One long shot who can definitely spring a surprise\u00a0this week\u00a0is Jhonattan Vegas. Yes, Vegas has finished outside the top-60 in each of his last two PGA Tour starts but he definitely has the power to tame East Lake.\u00a0The par-70 course is 7,385 yards long, which is perfect for a bomber like Vegas. The Venezuelan is 30th in the PGA Tour in driving distance, averaging 302.0 yards per drive this season. Vegas also knows how to deliver in the big stage, nabbing a surprise victory at the Canadian Open last July.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Spieth (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/golf\/tour-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>+450<\/strong><\/a>) wins not only the Tour Championship but also the FedEx Cup crown.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the exciting golf action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/18\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-119727\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GOLF-BANNERS-620x110.gif\" alt=\"golf-banners-620x110\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"148970\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;3,079&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world\u2019s top golfers will head to Atlanta this week for the 2017 edition of the Tour Championship.
