East Lake Golf Club (par 70, 7,440 yards, Bermuda greens) in Atlanta, Georgia, is hosting the TOUR Championship to conclude the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The top-30 players in the FedEx Cup standings will be competing for a $40 million purse and there will be no cut. The winner will take home $10 million. East Lake has been the site of the TOUR Championship since 2004 and Tommy Fleetwood (-18) won this playoff finale last year by three shots.
Below, I’ll dive into two of my favorite DFS options on DraftKings for the TOUR Championship.

Top Golf DFS Picks for the 2026 TOUR Championship
Patrick Cantlay ($8,900)
Cantlay has been great at East Lake the last five years, finishing first, T7th, fifth, T17th and runner-up. The UCLA product posted two 6-under 64s during his runner-up at East Lake a year ago and Cantlay travels back to Atlanta in sensational form.
Cantlay has finished T8th, T12th and runner-up in his last three starts with that runner-up coming at last week’s BMW Championship. Cantlay’s ball striking has been tremendous, gaining at least 5.0 strokes on approach in each of these last three starts and he has shot 68 or lower in 9-of-12 rounds during this span. The elite ball striking bodes very well for East Lake, as four of the last five winners here have finished the week top-seven in SG APP.
Cantlay also ranks sixth in par four performance this season, which is fantastic news for a traditional par 70 like East Lake. Fleetwood led his field in par four performance last season and each of the last four winners at East Lake have ranked top-five in the category.
Cantlay is a threat to contend for his second TOUR Championship victory this week and he is an awesome high-end value at this sub $9,000 salary.
Adam Scott ($6,500)
Scott is way underpriced at only $6.500. After finishing T9th at the Open Championship, the Aussie has opened the postseason with a T12 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and a T16 at the BMW Championship.
At Bellerive Country Club this past week, Scott ranked fifth in SG APP for the event and he posted a 3-under 67 in the final round. Next up is a date with East Lake, where Scott won by three shots in 2006. For a more recent result, the veteran finished T4th when he last visited this Donald Ross design in 2024.
Scott has finished inside the top-10 in 7-of-13 starts at East Lake and he has shot a 5-under 65 six times at this venue. Scott ranks ninth in this field in strokes gained per round at the course and he ranks sixth in this field in strokes gained per round at FedEx Cup Playoff events.
Furthermore, Scott ranks sixth in proximity to the hole on 200+ yard approach shots this season, which sets him up very well for his return to East Lake. Over the last five years, 30.7% of the approach shots at this course have come from 200+ yards, compared to the PGA TOUR average of 23.5%.
