Draftkings FedEx St. Jude Championship DFS Picks 8/15/24

This week, Draftkings Golf fans will be presented with the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship. Let’s take a look at this week’s event from a DFS perspective.

Before I dive into my DFS player selections for this tournament let’s review the golf course the field will play and the key player statistics that I think are the most vital to a golfer’s success at this week’s 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Where will the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship be played?

The 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship will be played at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. This golf course is a par 70 that measures approximately 7,243 yards.

Lucas Glover won the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship with a cumulative four round score of 15 under par.

Will the FedEx St. Jude Championship have a traditional cut after two rounds?

The 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship will have a limited field of only 70 golfers. This event does not have a traditional cut after two rounds. All 70 golfers will compete in all four rounds of the event.

I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact DFS lineup.

FedEx St. Jude Championship Draftkings DFS Picks

Tommy Fleetwood $9,800

Tommy Fleetwood arrives at this week’s tournament in rather good form. More specifically, Fleetwood has accumulated three top 20 finishes in his last five events played on the PGA Tour, including a 15th place result at the 2024 Travelers Championship in June.

In addition to his outstanding play on the PGA Tour, Tommy Fleetwood secured a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Golf event last week. I think it is fair to say that Fleetwood is arriving at this week’s first FedEx Cup playoff event in good form.

Ben Griffin $6,600

The talented American has accumulated two top seven finishes in his last five tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a fifth-place result at the 2024 John Deere Classic last month.

Ben Griffin finished 24th at the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship. I fully expect Griffin to post a much better result at this week’s event. Why? Griffin is a far better Golfer now than what he was a year ago.

Brendon Todd $6,100

Last week, Brendon Todd fired a final round 66 at the 2024 Wyndham Championship en route to an eventual 12th place finish.

Due to Brendon Todd’s quality finish at the 2024 Wyndham Championship I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to see how Todd fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2024 Wyndham Championship, in relation to the field, Brendon Todd ranked fourth in driving accuracy (78.6%), 13th in strokes gained around the green (0.458), ninth in strokes gained putting (1.177), and eighth in scrambling (76.5%).

Additionally, Todd has posted quality results at TPC Southwind in the past. More specifically, Todd finished 15th at the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

In my opinion, Brendon Todd’s low Draftkings price of only $6,100 presents the best fantasy value of any Golfer on this week’s PGA Tour Draftkings slate.

Additional Golfers I like to perform well this week (Draftkings price noted): Scottie Scheffler $12,400: Corey Conners $9,100: Tony Finau $8,800: Billy Horschel $8,500.
