FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025 Intro

The PGA TOUR enters its post-season with the first of three events - the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.

TPC Southwind hosts once more and it’s a familiar venue on the PGA TOUR having been used since 1989.

Note though that it’s only staged the last three editions of this event. The previous two were held at Liberty National in New Jersey and TPC Boston in Massachusetts.

Strong Strokes Gained: Tee To Green play has been a reliable stat to lean into at TPC Southwind: a par 70 that measures just under 7,300 yards.

Within that category, SG: Approach stands out and hitting the smaller than usual Bermuda greens on a regular basis is a key skill.

The top 50 on the FedExCup standings at the end of this event advance to next week’s BMW Championship, this year played at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland.

That takes us to the finale as the leading 30 points scorers make the journey to East Lake in Atlanta to play for the big jackpot on offer at the season-ending TOUR Championship.

Hideki Matsuyama of Japan took the title last year to end a run of home dominance.

• Water is in play on 10 holes while nine are doglegs

• Three players - Tom Lewis, Bob Estes and Jay Delsing - hold the course record of 61 

Favorites to Win the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025

Scottie Scheffler (+280) at bet365

Can anyone stop Scottie Scheffler? They certainly couldn’t in The Open at Royal Portrush on his last start and that was the World No.1’s fourth win in his last eight tournaments. You have to rewind to mid-March to find him finishing outside the top 10. Scheffler hadn’t actually had a top 10 in six visits to Southwind until his fourth place last year. Perhaps that shows it’s not his favorite venue but that may be clutching at straws.

Xander Schauffele (+1600) at bet365

It’s pretty clear that Schauffele still doesn’t have his ‘A’ game. It’s also fairly obvious that he can still function well when below his best as shown by eighth at the Scottish Open followed by seventh in The Open. He’s 7-for-7 at this venue and finished joint runner-up last year so don’t rule out a first win of 2025 for the two-time major winner.

Ludvig Aberg (+2200) at bet365

The Swede was a brilliant winner of the Genesis Invitational in February but since then he’s rather played in fits and starts, showing flashes that another win was coming but not playing consistently enough over 72 holes. His last two starts show eighth in the Scottish Open and 23rd in The Open and underlines the point. He made his Southwind debut last year, finishing only 40th.

Clark can Claim Victory  

As this is the cream of the crop, there are no end of potential winners this week.

But at odds of +5000 with bet365, Wyndham Clark stands out as great value.

The 2023 US Open champion made the wrong sort of headlines after taking his frustrations out on a locker at Oakmont, but since that unfortunate episode he’s, er, knuckled down and played some excellent golf.

At the Scottish Open, Clark was third with a round to play before finishing 11th while in The Open he was day down at 128th after 18 holes but rallied brilliantly with laps of 66-66-65 to leap into a tie for fourth. 

Clark then returned home to shoot four more rounds in the 60s and finish 12th in the 3M Open.

A desire to make the US Ryder Cup team is driving him on and this looks another good opportunity to try and win a place for next month’s showdown against the Europeans in New York.

Clark was seventh after 54 holes here on debut in 2022 before sliding and closed with a 64 to finish seventh last year.

Back him each-way at +5000 (1/4 Odds, 5 Places) with bet365.

Griffin to Beat Bradley

We landed another 72-hole match bet last week when Hideki Matsuyama (19th) got the better of Akshay Bhatia.

This week I’ll tip Ben Griffin to beat US Ryder Cup skipper Keegan Bradley.

Bradley missed the cut at the Wyndham Championship last week and perhaps that’s a sign that his focus is really starting to be pulled towards the Ryder Cup and whether he goes there as captain or player-captain.

In any case, his record at TPC Southwind is pretty average: a best of 43rd in his last five visits.

Griffin has been in great form this season and, after a mini dip, flourished again with 11th at the Wyndham.

He made the top 25 on his Southwind debut in 2023 and can win this match at -120 with bet365.

Berger to Claim Top 10

We’ve landed some nice wins in the Top 10 market over the last two weeks via Kurt Kitayama (+400, 3M Open) and Jackson Koivun (+750, Wyndham Championship).

For the FedEx St. Jude, I’ll try a punt on course horse Daniel Berger.

The Floridian has incredible form here of 1-1-MC-2-5 and hinted at a return to form with 30th in The Open. 

Back him for a Top 10 at +333 with BetMGM.
