Tour Championship Odds and Preview at East Lake Golf Club Atlanta

The official portion of the PGA Tour's 2011 season comes to a close this week with the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and it's Webb Simpson who holds down the points lead in the FedExCup standings.
The reset FedExCup standings has Simpson with 2500 points, followed by Dustin Johnson at 2250, Justin Rose at 2000, Luke Donald at 1800, and Matt Kuchar at 1600. And the winner of the FedExCup doesn't just get a trophy – they get $10 million too.
However, even though Simpson leads the points race it's Donald who sits atop the golf betting board at the Bodog Sportsbook to win the 30-player TOUR Championship this weekend. Donald is pegged at 13/2 odds on that list, followed by Simpson at 12/1, and each of Johnson, Adam Scott, Jason Day, and Nick Watney at 16/1.
Kuchar and Rose are then at 18/1 on those Tour Championship Odds, and Rose hits East Lake on a roll after picking up a two-stroke win over John Senden at the BMW Championship at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club over the weekend. Simpson won the Deutsche Bank Championship three weeks ago, and Johnson won the FedExCup opener, The Barclays, at the end of August.
Geoff Ogilvy was third at the BMW Championship last week, but he's back in 24th place in the FedExCup standings with 270 points and at 25/1 odds to get the win this week. Donald and Simpson rounded out the top five golfers at Cog Hill.
Jim Furyk won the TOUR Championship last season, but he's 36th in the FedExCup standings and didn't make the cut for the tournament this year. Donald was second at the event in 2010, ending up one stroke back of Furyk, with Retief Goosen third, and Watney and Paul Casey tying for fourth place. Goosen and Casey aren't in the field this year either; Watney is seventh in FedExCup points with 1200.
Two-time TOUR Championship winner Phil Mickelson (2009 and 2000) is 14th in the points heading into the tournament this week, and at 20/1 to win the event.
