The FedEx Cup Fall series continues this week in the form of the Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.
Remarkably, despite four more tournaments taking place after it this season, the Shriners Children’s Open is the penultimate event on US soil as the PGA Tour takes a brief trip through Japan, Mexico, and Bermuda in the coming weeks.
Time is quickly running out for those looking to increase their eligibility or retain their Tour card, therefore plenty of golfers will be hoping to generate a season-defining performance in Sin City.
Tom Kim will be aiming for a historic three-peat as the Korean tries to put an eventful Presidents Cup and an inconsistent PGA Tour campaign behind him.

Shriners Children’s Open Golf Betting Preview 2024: The Course
TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas will play as a 7,255-yard par-71 this week, featuring four par-3s and just three par-5s – the first of which does not arrive until the ninth.
Sat at around 2,700 feet above sea level, this Bobby Weed-designed layout is capable of producing some particularly low winning scores, with each of the six most-recent champions totally at least 20-under or better after four rounds.
2022 and 2023 champion Tom Kim is one of four player to jointly hold the tournament record with a 24-under, 260, total (2022) alongside Ryan Moore (2012), Webb Simpson (2013), and Sungjae Im (2021).
The site of Tiger Woods‘ first professional victory has Bermudagrass fairways and rough to complement its Bentgrass greens, and it meanders through arroyos and canyons as several water features make it a particularly eye-catching location for the PGA Tour’s only stop in Nevada.
