Top Golfers Chase FedExCup Playoff Glory
The 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship brings the PGA Tour’s biggest names to TPC Southwind in Memphis from August 13-16 for the opening event of the FedExCup Playoffs. With 69 of the top 70 qualifiers competing and no 36-hole cut, bettors get four full rounds to attack outright, matchup and finishing-position markets.
TPC Southwind is a par-70 measuring 7,288 yards, where narrow fairways, Bermuda greens and plenty of water can quickly wreck a scorecard. Add brutal Memphis heat, and accuracy, approach play and endurance become major handicapping factors.
Scottie Scheffler enters as the clear betting favorite and FedExCup points leader. Rory McIlroy returns to Memphis as another major threat, while Xander Schauffele, defending FedExCup champion Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Burns headline the next tier of contenders.
There’s plenty beyond the outright market. Only the top 50 in FedExCup points advance to the BMW Championship, creating added pressure for bubble players. With $20 million in prize money and 750 FedExCup points awaiting the winner, expect aggressive golf and plenty of betting drama in Memphis.
Read on to see our picks for this week.

The Prediction: Sam Burns 22/1 (+2200)
Sam Burns offers serious outright value at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Burns arrives with five straight top-20 finishes, including a runner-up at the U.S. Open and third at The Open. His game fits TPC Southwind, where he has previously finished T-2 and T-5.
Ranking third in Strokes Gained: Putting adds another weapon on Bermuda greens. With his current form and course history, Burns has a legitimate chance to finally break through.
Propping up:
- Take Scottie Scheffler for Top-5 finish +110.
- Take Tommy Fleetwood for Top-10 finish +145.
- Take Rickie Fowler for Top-20 finish +125.
- Take Nico Echavarria for Top-30 finish +105.
- Take Min Woo Lee for Top Australasian Player +130.
- Take Wyndham Clark -115 over Robert MacIntyre in Tournament Match Up.
- Long Shot Bets – Take Tom Kim for Top-5 finish +550.
