We're used to seeing Tiger Woods' name atop Vegas' golf odds when he's in the field. But for the second straight tournament, he's not the only one listed as the favorite for a FedExCup event.
Woods and Rory McIlroy were listed as 7-to-1 favorites last week to win the Barclays (neither was in contention to win on Sunday), and when the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino released their odds for the Deutsche Bank Championship, the two biggest names in the sport were once again listed as co-favorites, this time at 10-to-1.

We've discussed this before, but it's honestly not a huge shock to see Woods and McIlroy as the chalk picks. They're the biggest names in the sport and likely bring in the most money, so the decision makes a lot of financial sense.
As far as the rest of the field is concerned, Vegas doesn't have a lot of faith in Nick Watney following his victory at the Barclays; he's listed at 40-to-1 to win.
Luke Donald (15/1), Dustin Johnson (15/1), Bubba Watson (20/1) and Jason Dufner (20/1) round out the six top favorites at TPC Boston.
