FedEx St. Jude Championship Best Bets

FedEx Cup competition features the top 70 players on the PGA Tour. The top-50 finishers will advance to the next event in the playoffs.

TPC Southwind has undergone an eight-month renovation since last year's tournament. The par-70, 7,244-yard course is about a 30-minute drive from downtown Memphis. There are 2,000 FedEx Cup points and $20 million in purse money up for grabs.

Let's have a look at the top contenders in the FedEx St. Jude Championship golf picks for this year's tournament.

Scottie Scheffler (+400)

Scheffler is the No. 1-rated player in the World Gold Rankings. The defending champ is also No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings, with four PGA Tour wins this year.

No player has ever won consecutive FedEx Cup titles. Only Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have won the FedEx Cup multiple times.

Xander Schauffele (+1400)

A series of injuries have plagued Schauffele, leaving him a distant 42nd in FedEx Cup points. He is a two-time major champion, and when Schauffele is on his game, he can beat any player.

Without a win this year, he's had three top-10 performances. Two of them have come in his last two events.

Justin Thomas (+2200)

Thomas rediscovered his putting stroke this year. That could prove invaluable on a course that rewards players who hit greens in regulation.

He's fifth in FedEx Cup points, after missing the playoffs the prior two years. Thomas posted a win this year, his first since 2021.

Tommy Fleetwood (+2200)

The English player is Mr. Consistency of the PGA Tour. Fleetwood ranks third in scoring average, trailing only Scheffler and McIlroy.

However, the player rated ninth in the FedEx Cup standings is still in search of his first Tour victory.

Victor Hovland (+2500)

The 2023 FedEx Cup champion has a win and two top-10 finishes this year. He's 26th in points this year, though.

The Norwegian finished third in the US Open. On the other hand, in his most recent outing, he tied for 63rd in the Open Championship.

Russell Henley (+2500)

Henley is in the FedEx Cup playoffs for the 13th straight year. However, there's no questioning that this is his best year on the PGA Tour.

Henley ranks fourth in the FedEx Cup standings. He's posted nine top-10 finishes. That includes a win in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

FedEx St. Jude Championship Longshots To Consider

Hideki Matsuyama (+3000) is the defending FedEx St. Jude Championship winner. No golfer has won back-to-back titles in this tournament since Daniel Berger in 2016-17.

Cameron Young (+3500) is coming into this event off his first win of the season in the Wyndham Championship. He's 16th in FedEx Cup standings and owns five top-10 finishes this season. However, his best finish in this tourney is a tie for 31st.

Patrick Cantlay (+3500) was second in this tournament in 2023. He was the 2021 FedEx Cup winner.

Tournament Prop Bets

Scheffler is the +850 chalk to be leading the tournament following first-round play in the FedEx St. Jude Championship prop wagering. He's also the +185 betting choice to post the best finish in the event among American players.

Matsuyama is +125 to finish the event as the low Asian player. Fleetwood is +250 to post the best result of all the British golfers.

One stroke is the +220 favorite to be the winning margin of the tournament. If you think a playoff will be required to determine the outcome, you can access a betting line of +400 on that prop. And if you think there will be a hole in one, or that there won't be a hole in one during the tournament, either way you play this prop, the odds are set at -120.

Schauffele is +400 to wind up among the top-five finishers in the tournament. Matt Fitzpatrick is +200 to finish within the top 10. And Henley is +100 to be in the top-20 players at the end of the event.

FedEx St. Jude Championship Golf Picks

Scheffler hasn't played tournament golf since his win at the Open Championship. That was three weeks ago. Could rust be a factor?
