3. Adam Scott

With arguably the prettiest swing in golf, Aussie Adam Scott comes into East Lake playing perhaps the most consistent golf of anyone on this list. Sure, he hasn’t won any of the first three FedEx Cup events, but he finished tied for fourth at The Barclays, took solo fourth at the Deutsche Bank and once again tied for fourth at the BMW. Throw that on top of two wins, two second-place finishes and eight top tens and it’s easy to see how he put himself in this position.

Obviously, he can win the FedEx Cup with a win at the Tour Championship but like Jason Day, he could also finish in second and still have a very realistic chance of taking home the top prize. He could actually finish as low as fourth and still have a mathematical chance of winning the cup.

Also a former world number one, the 2013 Masters champion has 29 professional wins to his credit, including a win ten years ago at East Lake, one year before the FedEx Cup era began. He knows how to win at this golf course and has proven he can make the necessary adjustments, namely his putting stroke, to stay at a high level. Don’t be surprised to see Adam Scott holding two trophies on Sunday evening.
