2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship props, odds, picks, field: Golf expert reveals top sleepers, best bets, head-to-head matchups, one and done pick

The PGA Tour heads to TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee this week for the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship. The event will serve as the first event in the 2023 FedEx Cup Playoffs and feature the top 70 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings. Scottie Scheffler enters as the 13-2 favorite in the latest 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship odds. He is followed by Rory McIlroy (8-1), Jon Rahm (8-1), Patrick Cantlay (14-1), and Xander Schauffele (16-1).

If picking an outright winner doesn't intrigue you, be sure to check out the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship prop bets. Golf prop bets are growing in popularity because they allow fans to follow the action throughout the weekend. 

We simulated the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises. Join SportsLine here to see the model's shocking projected leaderboard.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, the model included Nick Taylor in its best bets to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That bet hit at +7000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,900. McClure's best bets also included Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns! 

Originally known as the Memphis Open, this event has seen several big changes in recent years. In 2019 it began a brief stint as the home to a WGC event, but in 2021 it became the first event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Now a no-cut tournament, this year's FedEx St. Jude Championship will only feature 70 players after the number of playoff participants was cut nearly in half from prior events. There's now a $20 million purse and the top 50 remaining golfers after this event in the FedEx Cup standings will move on in the playoffs. 

We can tell you that one of McClure's favorite 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship prop picks is Rickie Fowler finishing in the top 20 on the final leaderboard at +105 odds (risk $100 to win $105). He's also backing Viktor Hovland as one of his top One and Done picks!

McClure has also locked in a slew of other prop bets for the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship, including an EPIC 30-1 long shot to win it all! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any picks of your own!
