St. Jude Championship Betting Preview 2024

Golf betting tips for The FedEx St. Jude Championship (in more detail):

Rory McIlroy:

• To win outright (2 points win @ 10/1).

• Current form (last 5 starts): T15 – 2 – T4 – MC – T5.

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): 4 – 47 – 12 – MC – 3. 

Reasons to believe – Rory McIlroy:

“The three-time FedEx Cup champion is in top form right now! Believe it or not, in 2024 alone, he has racked up three wins, two second-place finishes, one third-place finish, two fourth-place finishes, and a fifth-place finish worldwide. And he also has a great track record here. Now might be the perfect time for him to go for that fourth FedEx Cup title!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Patrick Cantlay:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 20/1 – 7 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): T53 – MC – T3 – T5 – T25.  

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): 12 – 35 – 23 – 57 – 2.

Reasons to believe – Patrick Cantlay:

“Another former FedEx Cup champion who is flying under the radar this year, but don’t count him out just yet! Cantlay has been showing improved results over the past few weeks with four top-five finishes, including a strong showing in June. Let’s not forget he almost clinched the win in a playoff at this very course last year, so I have a feeling he will finish the season with a bang!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Corey Conners:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 30/1 – 7 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): T9 – T27 – T10 – T25 – T9. 

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): 27 – 30 – 36 – 28 – 6. 

Reasons to believe – Corey Conners:

“Conners has been playing well lately. His game is perfect for TPC Southwind. He’s solid from tee to green, as he showed with his impressive T6 finish here last year, closing out with two rounds of 65. Since his national open, he’s had three top-10 finishes. It feels like he’s on the cusp of a big win, and wouldn’t it be amazing if it happened this week? He could put himself in the running for the big prize!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Tony Finau:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 30/1 – 7 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): T8 – T3 – T5 – MC – T12. 

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): 27 – 65 – 34 – 5 – 64. 

Reasons to believe – Tony Finau:

“His putting game has stepped up lately, which has caught my eye. In his last seven starts, he’s had three top-10 finishes and three others in the top 20. It seems like he’s hitting his stride just in time for the Playoffs – watch out for him as a strong contender this week!” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.

Big Dal’s, big price outsider – Sam Burns:

• Each-way (1 point e/w @ 45/1 – 7 places, 1/5 odds).

• Current form (last 5 starts): T15 – T9 – T55 – T31 – T12. 

• Tournament form (last 5 starts): DNP – DNP – 2 – 20 – 52. 

Reasons to believe – Sam Burns:

“I have a good feeling about this one! His recent form has been decent, whilst not outstanding. However he did finish T12 last time out and has a scoring average of 67.83 on this course. If he can keep that up, he should be in contention over the weekend.” – ParUp Golf’s resident tipster ‘Big Dal’ on why he can win.
