The second round of the 2026 TOUR Championship gets underway on Friday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia.
Min Woo Lee holds a two-stroke lead over the rest of the field at 8-under par after the opening round. With three days remaining, this tournament remains wide open.
Here are my picks and TOUR Championship Round 2 best bets.
TOUR Championship Round 2 Best Bets
Jacob Bridgeman Top-20 (-128 at DraftKings)
Jacob Bridgeman produced a solid 68 on Thursday to finish T20. At -128, he is worth backing to trend positively for the remainder of the week.
Putting separates the men from the boys at East Lake Golf Club. Last year, each of the top nine finishers here ranked inside the top 15 in the field in strokes gained: putting.
No other strokes-gained category showed a similar trend.
With strong putting necessary for success, Bridgeman is a great target in this market. By far the strongest part of Bridgeman's game, he ranks in the 96th percentile in strokes gained: putting.
He also enters this week in good form following last week's ninth place finish at the BMW Championship. He gained true strokes putting in that tournament, something he has done in each of his past five events.
Russell Henley Top-20 (+100 at DraftKings)
Another golfer worth targeting in this market is Russell Henley. He failed to get anything going on Thursday, but avoided any negative marks on the card as well.
At +100, it's worth taking a shot on Henley to improve as the week progresses.
Like Bridgeman, Henley fits this course well.
One of the best putters on the planet this year, he ranks in the 96th percentile in strokes gained: putting. The format changed last year, with everyone starting at even par, but that did not hurt Henley.
He finished the tournament T2 and ranked sixth in the field in strokes gained: putting. In fact, Henley has never finished lower than T14 in his five career appearances at East Lake.
While Henley's putter is his best club in the bag, his approach play has been nearly as dominant. This season, he ranks in the 83rd percentile in strokes gained: approach.
Henley's wedge play is particularly strong, as he ranks in the 90th percentile in strokes gained: approach from 100-150 yards.
Last year, roughly 34% of approach shots at East Lake came from the 100-150-yard range, well above the PGA Tour average.
