This weekend’s Northern Trust at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass., marks the first event of the FedEx Cup playoffs. The tournament, which began in 1967 as the Westchester Classic and had been known as The Barclays until 2016, is now rotating between the Boston and New York areas. The last two winners at TPC Boston (Deutsche Bank in 2017 and Dell Technologies in 2018) are the two favorites at 12/1, Justin Thomas and Bryson DeChambeau.

Others near the top of the odds board include Rory McIlroy (14/1), World No. 1 Jon Rahm (14/1), Dustin Johnson (18/1), Xander Schauffele (20/1), PGA champion Collin Morikawa (20/1), and defending champ Patrick Reed (30/1).

Here are some players who are worth a wager:

Dustin Johnson (18/1): Probably played well enough to win the PGA Championship but ended up settling for another runner-up when Morikawa shot 129 (-11) over the weekend. The putter was on point, and he gets the preferred Bentgrass surface this week. If he can just improve a little on the tee-to-green game, he can surely do well here.

He looks like the guy near the top of the board that’s getting a bit ignored considering Thomas and DeChambeau are the last two victors on this course, McIlroy has won twice on the track and Rahm is the No. 1 player in the world.

DJ is a two-time winner of The Northern Trust, including a 2011 win at Plainfield on another Gil Hanse redesign. He also has three finishes of eighth or better in the last six stops here.

Jason Day (18/1): Day looks like he’s getting close to being back to his best form since 2017 when he was a top 5-10 player in the world. He’s posted four straight finishes of seventh or better including top 5s at the Memorial and the PGA Championship.

In Day’s last two events, he’s been in the top 7 for Strokes Gained: Tee-To-Green and led the field at the PGA for Strokes Gained: Approach while finishing second for Greens In Regulation. He’s back in contention and really hasn’t putted the ball well. The short game is always Day’s bread and butter and when it hits, which could be this week, he’s going to be firing on all cylinders.

Tony Finau (35/1): As soon as Jim Herman won his third PGA Tour event, many of us came with our Finau jokes on social media. Herman has three PGA Tour wins and Finau still only has one, which is astonishing. I figure now that I’ve joked about him, Finau is going to break through and shut us all up.

Finau has a fourth-place finish on this course in 2018 and also was runner-up to DeChambeau the week before at Ridgewood CC in New Jersey.

Finau ended up tied for fourth two weeks ago at the PGA but rated second in the field for Strokes Gained: Approach and third for Strokes Gained: Tee-To-Green. If these marks can carry over to this week, then he should be right there in contention on Sunday. The question remains though if he can kick in the door late on Sunday?

Adam Scott (35/1): This is bit of a speculative play since Scott has competed in only one PGA event since the restart in June. He has a win on this course (albeit back in 2003) along with numerous top-5 and top-10 finishes. Only McIlroy averages more strokes-gained per round at TPC Boston than Scott (minimum 25 rounds).

Matthew Fitzpatrick (50/1): Was one of the trendy picks going into the PGA Championship a couple weeks back but the boat got too heavy and it tipped over with the talented Englishman missing the cut. His odds had shortened to the high 30s and low 40s at some shops and now he drifts back to the 50s after one event … 50/1 is a good spot to buy on the drift.

Abraham Ancer (55/1): Was the 54-hole leader at TPC Boston two years ago before slipping to a seventh-place finish. Ancer is ranked No. 25 in the world and still searching for that first PGA Tour win. He’s shown that he has the all-around game to compete with the top players over the last couple of seasons.
