FedEx St. Jude Championship Picks, Odds & Favorites

The FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, TN kickstarts the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs this week with Scottie Scheffler set as the betting favorite by the early odds from our best golf betting sites.

Scottie Scheffler opens the 2022-23 FedEx Cup Playoffs at No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), No. 2 in the FedEx Cup rankings, and as the betting favorite for this week's FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, TN. He's looking for redemption after blowing a big lead over Rory McIlroy in last year's Tour Championship.

It's certainly not surprising to see Scheffler open with the shortest odds to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship, especially with 2022 champion Will Zalatoris not in attendance after missing much of the 2022-23 season due to injury. McIlroy and Jon Rahm (who opens the playoffs with the shortest FedEx Cup odds) follow Scheffler on the oddsboard this week, as they have for many of the Tour's top events this season.

Here's our look at the best FedEx St. Jude Championship odds for TPC Southwind (odds via our best sports betting apps).

FedEx St. Jude Championship field notes

The top-70 golfers in the FedEx Cup rankings following last week's Wyndham Championship have advanced to the FedEx St. Jude Championship field. The top-50 golfers after this week will move on to next week's BMW Championship as the second playoff event with the top-30 in the standings then advancing to the 2023 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club.

Justin Thomas is the most notable name who fell short of his playoff bid with a T-12 finish in the Wyndham Championship leaving him outside of the top-70 in the season-long points race. He joins the injured Zalatoris on the sidelines this week. Sepp Straka, the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship runner-up, is offered with odds as high as +6000 via bet365 this week.
