Scottie Scheffler won his second green jacket earlier this season and he's the first player since 2009 (Tiger Woods) to win six or more times in a season. Now he's added Olympic gold medalist to his expanding resume and he'll return to the PGA Tour for the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship on Thursday at TPC Southwind. The tournament marks the beginning of the 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs and Scheffler has opened up a lead of more than 1,900 points over Xander Schauffele in the FedEx Cup standings.
He'll look to hold onto that lead and earn himself a two-shot advantage at the Tour Championship over the next two weeks. He's the +360 favorite in the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship odds. Meanwhile, Schauffele is priced at +750 in this week's PGA Tour odds and he's followed by Rory McIlroy (+850) and Collin Morikawa (+1400). Before locking in any 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship picks, Scottie Scheffler props, or golf picks at sites like FanDuel, DraftKings, Underdog Fantasy, PrizePicks, or Pick6, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .
Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.
This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters -- its third Masters in a row -- and this year's PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.
One surprise: Tommy Fleetwood, a (+2800) longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 33-year-old Englishman is coming off a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and he's ranked No. 11 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
He hasn't won a PGA Tour event yet in his career but has won 10 times worldwide and he's been top-five on 23 occasions. That includes five runner-up finishes and five third-place finishes in his career. One of those third-place showings came at the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship and he also finished T-4 in 2019, so he has what it takes to be in contention at TPC Southwind.
The model has also examined where Scottie Scheffler (+360) finishes at the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship. Scheffler has been spectacular this season, racking up six wins and 14 top-10 finishes. The 28-year-old is also coming off a thrilling come-from-behind victory at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
