Stricker won at the John Deer in early July so he should be recharged and ready to win again.
Welcome addition to Betting@Betfair, golfing guru and sports commentator Mark Allen casts his eye over week one of the PGA Tour's "Final's Series", which starts with the Barclays this Friday morning Australian Time.
Everybody who finished inside the top 125 - no Tiger this week - in the Fed Ex Cup points-race will be set to go in New Jersey.
The Donald Ross 7000 yard par 71 puts distance control at the top of the list with it's "upside down bowl greens", and the rough could get nasty given the rain Plainfield Country Club copped in the last week.
Mark's pick of the week: Steve Stricker
Stricker leads the Tour in putting, up and downs, and is the best wedge player in the business, all of which will suit this shorter than Tour average track.
He also seems to often play well this time of year and won at the John Deer in early July, so he should be recharged and ready to win again.
Lay Adam Scott for as much as you like.
He's been up for a while and the wedges have never been his strongest suit.
He's due to drop off in form.
Rickie Fowler is too good a player not to win in the States and at $40 is worth some lazy cash each week until he holds up a trophy.
Good punting!
