Black Desert is a birdie track in a watered-down FedEx Cup Fall field, which is why no name clears roughly 8 percent and the outright favorite, Jackson Koivun, sits in single digits despite his form. Koivun turned pro, beat Scheffler at the 3M Open, and went undefeated at the Presidents Cup, so his short number is earned. Defending champion Michael Brennan, who also won Wyndham this August, and Ben James, another young bomber, headline the chasing tier. A course this gettable compresses the field and rewards aggressive drivers, which flattens the board and makes any single-name position a long shot by design. The value question is whether the top three are priced richly against a deep pack of live 30-to-1 types.
