    The 2021-22 PGA Tour season concludes this week when 29 players tee off in the season-ending 2022 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The winner of the tournament will receive $18 million and earn the title of FedEx Cup champion. Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy are the co-favorites to lead after the first round (without strokes), at +1000. Jon Rahm (+1100) and Scottie Scheffler (+1200) round out the top five choices. 

    Before you consider your Tour Championship picks and who will lead the tournament after the first round, you NEED to see what Sia Nejad has to say. 

    Nejad is a golf and NFL betting and DFS expert who has had incredible success in the first-round leader market. While those markets tend to be highly volatile, Nejad managed to hit six first-round leaders in a 12-week span earlier this year. He utilizes the inherent volatility in the market to identify value with golfers more likely to spike in one round versus a full tournament. He maintains that proper bankroll management is centered upon head-to-head matchups and the top 20 and top 40 markets but has been exceptional in spiking bankrolls via first-round leader cashes.

    In 2022, his first-round leader hits include Danny Lee (150-1 at the American Express), Kevin Na (40-1, Sony), Tom Hoge (80-1, Players), KH Lee (85-1, Phoenix), Jhonattan Vegas and Adam Hadwin (70-1 and 100-1, Valspar). He also has hit a handful of outrights and live outrights this year, including Cameron Smith (28-1, Tournament of Champions) and Sam Burns (80-1 after Round 1, Charles Schwab Challenge).

    Now Nejad has released his first-round leader picks for the 2022 Tour Championship.

    One shocker: Nejad is high on the chances of Corey Conners (+2200) to lead after the first round without strokes. "He's a great fit for the course as he is a great ball-striker who is coming in with great form," Nejad says.

    However, Nejad also likes an even bigger longshot whose odds are "just high enough to take the gamble. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before entering any Tour Championship 2022 picks!
