3 Best Bets to Win the FedEx St. Jude Championship
  • Tommy Fleetwood has +2000 odds to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
  • Hideki Matsuyama ranges from +2200 to +2900 to win at TPC Southwind.
  • Collin Morikawa’s improved putting gives him good value to win at +2800 odds.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – There are three players in the +2000 range that can win the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship. Tommy Fleetwood offers the strongest combination of course fit, form, and price in the field at +2000 odds.

FedEx St. Jude Championship Odds

  • Scottie Scheffler +500
  • Rory McIlroy +1400
  • Xander Schauffele +1800
  • Tommy Fleetwood +2000
  • Cameron Young +2200
  • Hideki Matsuyama +2200
  • Sam Burns +2200
  • Collin Morikawa +2800
  • Ludvig Aberg +2800
  • Matt Fitzpatrick +2800
  • Justin Thomas +3000
  • Patrick Cantlay +3500
  • Si Woo Kim +3500
  • Tom Kim +3500
  • Viktor Hovland +3500
  • Chris Gotterup +4000
  • Jackson Koivun +4000
  • Russell Henley +4500
  • J J Spaun +5000
  • Michael Thorbjornsen +5000
  • Robert MacIntyre +5000
  • Wyndham Clark +5000

Fleetwood is the defending FedEx Cup champion after finally getting his first PGA Tour win in last year’s Tour Championship. He returns to TPC Southwind after posting a T-3 finish in 2025 and 2023 at a course that rewards Fleetwood’s profile of strong approach play, driving accuracy, and Bermuda putting.

Fleetwood’s finished T14 or better in his last six outings, including a T-4 finish in his last event at The Open Championship. The Englishman ranks third on the PGA Tour for strokes gained: total and strokes gained: around-the-green, while also ranking fifth in strokes gained: tee-to-green.

Hideki Matsuyama +2200

Hideki Matsuyama is right there with Fleetwood considering his success at this course and how good he’s been lately. Matsuyama has rattled off four-consecutive top-15 finishes, including T-3, T-5, and T-7 finishes in his last three events.

Matsuyama’s price gap across PGA Tour betting sites is worth noting. He’s +2200 to win at Bovada, but +2500 at FanDuel and +2900 on DraftKings. Hideki won in Memphis in 2024 and is trending in the right direction for the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Collin Morikawa +2800

Collin Morikawa’s +2800 legal sports betting odds deserve a shout as the second-best approach player in the field. He’s been solid off the tee and his irons are always reliable, but the biggest weakness for Morikawa is his putting.

However, Morikawa’s putting woes have quietly subsided as he’s gained 2.5 or more strokes putting in five consecutive starts. Pair a hot putter with his top-five strokes gained off the tee and approach, and Morikawa has a shot with +2800 Tennessee sports betting odds to win at TPC Southwind.
