Odds to Win the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational

Fresh off the conclusion of The Open Championship, the top golfers on the PGA Tour won’t have much time to catch their collective breath as the World Golf Championship-FedEx St. Jude Invitational at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee gets underway this week.

Memphis is set to join the roster of WGC locales to take over from Akron’s Firestone Country Club. According to Bovada, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy are the +900 co-favorites, with Brooks Koepka (+1000), Jon Rahm (+1200), Justin Thomas (+1400), Patrick Cantlay (+2000), Justin Rose (+2200), Tommy Fleetwood (+2200), Xander Schauffele (+2200) and Adam Scott (+2800) rounding out the top 10.

Dustin Johnson has won twice at TPC Southwind in his career.

Johnson’s six all-time WGC triumphs are second only to Tiger Woods, and DJ has had plenty of success at this track before, winning twice at TPC Southwind in his career (2012 and 2018). With only two weeks remaining in the FedExCup regular season, a new leader in the standings could come to fruition depending on how things shake out in Tennessee.

After missing the cut at The Open, Woods turned down his spot in the lineup. Still, a loaded field of 68 men will descend on the course for what’s shaping up to be yet another exciting WGC event. Memphis has proven to be a haven for first-time winners, as four of the past eight winners at the venue have made it their first PGA Tour victory.

Thomas is Back to Retain His WGC Title

Thomas cruised to his first WGC victory at the 2018 edition of the tournament in Akron, building a three-shot lead through 54 holes and never letting anyone get within more than two shots on the final day to claim the hardware.

The course, a 7,244-yard par 70, hosted the FedEx St. Jude Classic for 30 years before taking on the WGC name this season. Southwind’s most famous hole is undeniably the par-3 No. 11 that has drawn comparisons to the 17th at TPC Sawgrass due to its small island green that requires precise short-iron work.
