What is Taylor Moore’s Course History At East Lake Golf Club?

The Tour Championship is entering its 16^th season as the final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs. It has been played in various formats throughout its history and continues this year for the fourth year in its current staggered format where the leader in FedEx Cup points will start the event at 10-under.

Taylor Moore is making his first career start at the Tour Championship. He has never played but should have a chance to do well here as he ranks 93rd in strokes gained on approach-to-green, 83rd proximity to the hole and 42nd on approach shots over 200 yards on tour this year.

How Is Taylor Moore’s Recent Form?

Taylor Moore went through a few tough stretches during the year but has ultimately put together a solid 2023 season, highlighted by his exceptional play over the past few weeks. In his last three appearances, he has two top-25 finishes and one top-five finish.

Moore has been outstanding around the green and on approach recently. He has gained strokes around the green and on approach in four of his last five appearances.

Taylor Moore's confidence helped him shoot 5-under on #MovingDay to move into second place at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Taylor Moore’s Outlook For Tour Championship

Coming into this week, Moore's odds are currently at 400/1 at most sportsbooks. This week's field features the top 30 in FedEx Cup standings, and East Lake will present a stern test for golfers where they must be accurate off the tee and on approach.

Moore must continue his strong approach and around the green play if he intends to have a chance to win the FedEx Cup. It’s worth noting that at last year’s Tour Championship over 32% of approach shots were taken from 150-200 yards and this year Moore ranks in the 60^th percentile in greens in regulation and 43rd percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from 150-200 yards in the fairway. However, Moore ranks in the 61st percentile in greens in regulation and the 42nd percentile in proximity to the hole on approach shots from over 150 yards in the rough.
