FedEx St. Jude Championship Betting preview

Scottie Scheffler's incredible consistency has put him well in contention here as the outright favorite.

Before the Open at Royal Liverpool, Scheffler's numbers were almost hard to believe, showing an incredible longevity inside the top 10 of competitions.

Rory McIlroy is the defending FedExCup champion and three-time winner, who secured a win in Scotland before the Open and a rally saw him finish tied in sixth place.

His record is also very impressive, with a 7th - 7th - 9th, 2nd, 7th, 1st and 6th in his last seven starts.

Jon Rahm is the current leader in the FedEx standings and fought back superbly well to finish in a tie for 2nd at the Open.

Open champ Brian Harman is one at much bigger odds who could continue his fine form now he's broke a long, losing tag.

Latest odds for the FedEx St Jude Championship

Scheffler is rightly the man at the top of the betting.

But there's a whole host of huge names on the favorite's tail, including multiple recent winners.

What is the best site to bet on the FedEx Cup St Jude Championship?

This is crunch time for the 70 players that made it as they battle it out for the biggest purse on the PGA Tour.

As such, the bookmakers will respond accordingly, meaning some big prices and offers across the board.

It's important to shop around for the best odds on offer, particularly with different place offerings and the ability to bet on different markets and not just the outright winner.

With some of the best odds, a range of different markets and a sensational sign up offer, BetMGM is a very sound choice of betting site.

What bets can I place on the FedEx Cup St Jude Championship?

As mentioned right above, you can bet on more than just the winner of the tournament.

BetMGM allows you to back the winner if you want, but they also have prices for whether your selection they will finish in the top 5, 10, 20 or 40 at gradually, lower odds.

You can also select who you think will be leading the tournament after Thursday's first round at much, much bigger odds.

There's also the chance to back players to make the cut as well as win in virtual groups, where BetMGM have put players into fictional groups and you select who will come out on top.

While DraftKings allow you to pick who will be the leading player from their continent (i.e top European - Jon Rahm).

If you think the first round leader will also go on to win the entire tournament, you can select a player for much bigger returns.

And there's the option of selecting your golfer to make a hole in one across the four days at monster odds, too.
