2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship Fantasy golf leaderboards, picks, tips: Returning to Tony Finau in the FedEx Cup Qualifiers
The PGA Tour regular season is in the books, and now the race for the FedExCup title is on. It begins Thursday at the FedEx St. Jude in 2022, and golfers will face a TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn. The yard is familiar to many people. It opened in 1988 and has hosted an annual tournament since 1989. For the past three years it has been the site of WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational, so top players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Cameron Smith have a lot of experience there. All three made the top 15 at Southwind last year. Scheffler tops with 1,220 points in the FedEx Cup standings, but Smith and Sam Burns are among those chasing him. Burns lost to St. Jude Invitational last year against Abraham Ancer in the playoffs. The defending FedEx Cup champion also hopes to have a say in the matter, as he ranks fifth on the leaderboard..
McIlroy is the 10-1 favorite in the FedEx St. Caesars Sportsbook’s latest 2022 Jude. Scheffler is the favorite in 14-1, followed by Smith (16-1). Patrick Cantlay, Jon Rahm, PGA winner Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele are all valued at 18-1. Tony Finau, the winner of his last two tournaments, is 20-1, while Burns isn’t much further away at 25-1.
Can Burns make a splash again at Southwind and turn into a bargain for FedEx St. Your 2022 Jude Championship for $8,600 at DraftKings? Or could Hideki Matsuyama ($8,400) give you great value after having also made the playoffs here last year? Before you make any Fantasy golf rankings or place any bets on the FedEx St. Jude in 2022, you need to see Fantasy Golf predictions from SportsLine fantasy expert Riley Gates.
Gates is a writer for 247Sports and has written about a wide range of sports for nearly six years. He has been following golf longer and has a deep knowledge of the sport. He also knows what it takes to win, on the field and in fantasy sports.
Gates has been very successful this season with his picks. At Rocket Mortgage, he touted Cameron Champ as one of his bargain Fantasy golfers. Champ costs just $7,600 at DraftKings and tops the top 20.
Gates also won the Open championship, joining Smith among his outright winners even though many pundits have eliminated the Australian. As for the John Deere Classic, Gates rated the 40-1 ranged JT Poston as a potential winner before winning his second tour.
At Travelers, he beat Sahith Theegala, who was valued at just $7,300 at DraftKings, and finished as runner-up. Anyone who follows Gates’ advice can cash in on their Fantasy golf picks.
Now, Gates has ranked his top golfers for the FedEx St. Jude 2022, and you’ll really want to see what he has to say. You can only see his fantasy golf rankings and picks at the FedEx St. Jude at SportsLine.
2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship Fantasy Golf Expert’s Choice
Gates didn’t hesitate to buy Finau for just $9,700 at DraftKings. “Finau is playing the best golf of his career,” said the expert, “and there is absolutely no reason why he should be so cheap.” All Finau has done is win consecutive tournaments – 43 under – at 3M Open and Rocket Mortgage. Oh, and he won last year’s playoff opening match at the Northern Trust. He ranks 11th in strokes achieved at teeing off, ninth in tee shots on the green and 11th in average.
Gates, on the other hand, doesn’t have a good feeling about Matt Fitzpatrick and is letting him down this week. The Englishman was listed 22-1 at Caesars and priced at $9,800 on DraftKings, but he didn’t even break into the top 50 at Southwind last year. He’s tied for 57th place by more than 3 points, and he usually doesn’t have the accuracy with his iron that will be required this week. The 27-year-old ranked 73rd in regulatory greenness (67.2%) and 103rd in proximity to the hole at nearly 37 feet. You can see who else will come back and fade here.
