This tournament will draw some attention, though, as the postseason begins in Memphis. Winning the FedEx Playoffs comes with a big payday of $18 million.

RORY IS BACK

The most recognizable face on the PGA Tour is participating in Memphis at TPC Southwind. Rory McIlroy has signed up to play the FedEx St. Jude Championship, much to the excitement of organizers in Memphis.

Last week at the Wyndham Championship, Kim Joo-Hyung caught fire on the weekend to come from behind to win at Sedgefield Country Club. He shot a -9 on Sunday to win by five strokes over John Huh and Im Sung-Jae.

Im and Huh played well, but Kim was on fire. The 20-year-old has a bright future and more PGA titles in front of him.

This is a much tougher field than the Wyndham Championship, with the big guns coming out to play at TPC Southwind. Head below for the best FedEx St. Jude Championship odds and picks for the opening PGA postseason tournament in 2022.

FedEx St. Jude Championship Betting Odds

Knowing that Rory McIlroy is participating in the St. Jude Championship, whom do you think is atop the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship odds board?

Whenever you spot McIlroy in a tournament, it’s a safe guess that he is going to be the favorite. In this case, McIlroy is a +1100 favorite, ahead of Cameron Smith at +1400.

Smith and many others are back on the golf course after The Open. The Aussie spent the time off celebrating his win at St. Andrews. He may have used it to rest for a minute, but it looked like the party never stopped for Smith.

FedEx St. Jude Championship Predictions

Rory McIlroy (+1100)

What more does Rory McIlroy have to do to win a major? He did everything possible to beat the field at The Open, but was still held out on the final day. McIlroy finished 3rd alone and two shots off the lead of winner Cameron Smith.

McIlroy most recently won a major in 2014 at the PGA Championship, which is insane to believe considering how close he’s been since then. Just this year, the native of Northern Ireland was the runner-up at Augusta National in the Masters and 3rd at St. Andrews.

Do you want to take a look at the two other majors this year? McIlroy was T5 at the U.S. Open and 8th at the PGA Championship. Well done despite not winning. It’s the first time in his career he finished in the top-10 in all majors in a single year.

At The Open, he is the only golfer to have the 54-hole lead, hit every green in regulation on Sunday, and not win. Despite the loss, McIlroy won the Canadian Open not too long ago on June 12.

McIlroy leads the PGA Tour in scoring average with 68.595. He is also leading in SG: Total at 2.295. McIlroy is also one of the finest drivers on the Tour, with an average of 319.4 yards per drive for second in the PGA.

If McIlroy turned around and started playing immediately after a tough beat at The Open, I’d have my hesitations regarding him.

However, he took some time off to gather his thoughts and refocus. Likely in the hunt again on Sunday, McIlroy with his FedEx St. Jude Championship odds at +1100 is worth considering.

Patrick Cantlay (+1800)

Patrick Cantlay has been one of the hottest players on the PGA Tour recently. He is knocking hard on the door and is likely going to get in soon.

Cantlay has finished T2, T8, T4, T13, T14, T3 in his previous six tournaments.

Since the Memorial Tournament, Cantlay has been locked in and a threat on the final day. In his latest effort, Cantlay got close in the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit.

GETTING CLOSER

Despite his best effort, Cantlay was just held out after shooting a -21 to par. Tony Finau was just too good for the second consecutive week.

Since winning the BMW Championship last year, he’s finished in the top-5 in seven tournaments, including runner-up three times. Cantlay just has to keep playing his game and the wins will come. This could be the week at the St. Jude Championship to open the FedEx Playoffs.
