The FedEx Cup Playoffs begin on Thursday at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn., with the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship beginning a three-week sprint to this year's title. The 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship field will feature the top 70 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings looking to secure valuable points in the first of three events in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. In addition to picking the overall winner, golf fans can lock in wagers for the first round, which begins on Thursday at 8:20 a.m. ET.
Scottie Scheffler holds a commanding lead over Xander Schauffele atop the FedEx Cup standings but with playoff points weighted significantly, the FedEx Cup championship is still anyone's to win if they can get hot. The No. 1 ranked player in the world is the +360 favorite to finish on top of the leaderboard and his over/under for total strokes in Round 1 is 66.5. Should Scheffler be part of your betting strategy for Thursday's first round, or should you look elsewhere for value?
Before entering any 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship props or PGA predictions on sites like PrizePicks, DraftKings Pick6, and Underdog Fantasy, you NEED to check out the PGA Tour predictions and best bets from golf insider Mike McClure.
McClure built SportsLine's proprietary golf model, which has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,500 on its best bets since June 2020, 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!
Now with the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship field locked in, McClure has evaluated the odds board and locked in his top Pick6 picks for Round 1.
We can tell you McClure is backing Viktor Hovland to finish with Under 4.5 birdies in Round 1. Hovland is the defending FedEx Cup champion but he's struggled mightily in 2024. In fact, Hovland has recorded just one top-10 finish this season and he's finished T-46 or worse in three of his last four starts on the PGA Tour. The 26-year-old Norwegian enters this week's event ranked 113th in scoring average (70.41) and 132nd in one-putt percentage, which is why McClure is expecting he'll finish the four or fewer birdies in Round 1.
In addition, McClure has locked in three more best bets for your Pick6 strategy. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his best bets for Round 1 before locking in any 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship picks of your own!
