The Tour Championship will be played at East Lake GC, a 7154 yard par 70 course that has hosted this tournament every year since 2004. Since it is a small field, I will be doing things a little different this week. I will rank every golfer from 1-30 based on my key stats for the course, course history, and current form. To get these rankings I have added every golfers key stat average, average finish at East Lake, and average finish during this year’s Fed Ex Cup Playoffs. The lower the total, the higher ranked a golfer is. For golfers who have never played at East Lake, 25th place will be their average finish. If golfers skipped certain Fed Ex Cup Playoff events, I will not count it against them. Also, all missed cuts will be counted as finishing in 75th place. Use this as a guide along with your gut to make the right picks for your DraftKings lineups this week. Good luck to all!

3. Rory McIlroy ($11,700)
***Rory hasn’t played enough this year to get his stats registered. I will be using his stats from 2014. This might skew his ranking but I don’t think Rory ranked at #3 is that far off.
