The first leg of the FedEx Cup kicks off this week at the Barclays, with players fighting for that $ 10 million prize at the end of the year, and while we are weeks away from crowning a winner, getting off to a good start is important.
A lot of the big names are in the field this week at Liberty National, taking on the golf course that looks out over New York City and hosted this event back in 2009.
Who is the favorite? Well, that shouldn’t be a surprise. Golfodds.com has Tiger Woods at 5-to-1 to win this week, with Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson coming in at 15-to-1.
Behind those guys is Henrik Stenson at 20-to-1, and then a host of big names coming in at 30-to-1 or better.
Check out all the odds after the jump and let us know which number you like the most to snag the first FedEx Cup playoff event of 2013.
