PGA Tour Championship Picks, Predictions, Winner Payouts This Week
East Lake Golf Club has served as the permanent home of the Tour Championship since 2004. East Lake, which was established in 1904, has also previously hosted the 1963 Ryder Cup and 2001 U.S. Amateur.

The PGA Tour Championship payouts listed below indicate real-money earnings if a prediction is correct; for example, a 2x on a $100 entry pays out $200. The lower the payout multiplier, the higher the chance of the outcome occurring, according to user picks.
