St. Jude Championship Golf Betting Tips & Predictions

Ended

We have expert betting tips for the FedEx St Jude Championship this week, which is the first tournament of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

All the big names have returned, including Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, who are $6 and $15 in golf betting markets respectively.

We look at the best FedEx St Jude Championship picks, including our best bet, best roughie, and top 10.

Best Bet

Scottie Scheffler @ $6.00

Bet Now

It has been an interesting year for Scheffler, who won early in the year, but the world number one hasn’t won since.

Going seven months without winning a golf tournament isn’t the norm for Scheffler, so he’s due, and punters get better odds than they usually get for the American. He’s usually priced at around $4 to win most events, so the $6 is a fair price.

His form hasn’t been bad in 2026. He has numerous second-place finishes, including at the majors, but we did expect him to win many more tournaments. Something hasn’t clicked for him, but there’s time to make up for it.

We can’t turn down the odds for Scheffler, so include him in golf picks this week.

Best Value Bet

Sam Burns @ $20.00

Bet Now

It has largely been a year of what could have been for Sam Burns, who put himself in contention to win a couple of majors.

His fourth-round efforts haven’t been good enough, but he’s clearly one of the best players in the world, and he’s a sneaky chance to win the FedEx Cup. A good showing at the St Jude Championship will see him rise the ranks, and we’re backing him in.

Burns is always worth including in golf bets, and the limited field makes the $20 odds better than usual.

Best Roughie

Tom Kim @ $41.00

Bet Now

Tom Kim is already a winner on the PGA Tour this year, and after a strong showing at the Wyndham Championship last week, we’re not leaving him out of our picks.

The young South Korean went a few years without showing much, but he’s back to his best form this year, and that makes him a winning threat most weeks.

When Kim plays with confidence, he’s tough to beat. We like how he played last weekend, and his experience playing at the top level could take him close at the FedEx St Jude Championship, so the odds are generous.

Include him in picks at $41, and those odds could firm throughout the week.

Next Best

Justin Thomas @ $26.00

Bet Now

We’re taking a risk by including Justin Thomas in our selections, but at $26, he’s worth including as a value bet.

Thomas has underperformed for a couple of years, but his confidence levels have risen lately, and he could make an impact during the playoffs.

The American knows what it takes to win at the top level as a multiple major winner, and that can’t be overlooked. He doesn’t win as often as he used to, but we wouldn’t be shocked if he won a playoff tournament.

Top 10

Cameron Young @ $2.88

Bet Now

Cameron Young only barely made the cut last week at the Wyndham Championship, but he’s a top 10 player, and he should bounce back.

He tees off early on Friday morning, which could see him get the best conditions, and he could post a good early score to lead the field.

We have him finishing in the top 10, which pays $2.88, and those odds are worth including in golf bets this week.
