2022 Tour Championship rankings: Top 10 expert picks
1. Scottie Scheffler: Scheffler seemed to clean things up quickly after his disappointing putter in Memphis.
2. Patrick Cantlay: Cantlay is the play in the northeast moving forward, and he's got a great chance to become the first back-to-back FedEx Cup champion.
3. Rory McIlroy: McIlroy recovered well from the MC in Memphis, but he can't have blow-up holes like he did in Delaware.
4. Tony Finau: Finau should have a legit shot this week, even though he dropped from fifth to eighth in the FedEx Cup ranking.
5. Jon Rahm: Big-ball hitters should have an easier time this week compared to their peers, and Rahm drives the ball very well.
6. Will Zalatoris: Zalatoris would be ranked higher were he not injured in some fashion. How bad is to be determined.
7. Cam Smith: This is, reportedly, Smith's final PGA Tour start before going to LIV. I imagine he'll YOLO this week.
8. Xander Schauffele: Xander has found success at East Lake, and he played really well alongside Cantlay at Wilmington.
9. Cameron Young: Young could be the next young buck to break through on a big stage.
10. Justin Thomas: JT isn't there as a front-running player right now, but that doesn't mean he can't pull off something this week.
