Scottie Scheffler won his second green jacket earlier this season and he’s the first player since 2009 (Tiger Woods) to win six or more times in a season. Now he’s added Olympic gold medalist to his expanding resume and he’ll return to the PGA Tour for the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship on Thursday at TPC Southwind. The tournament marks the beginning of the 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs and Scheffler has opened up a lead of more than 1,900 points over Xander Schauffele in the FedEx Cup standings.
He’ll look to hold onto that lead and earn himself a two-shot advantage at the Tour Championship over the next two weeks. He’s the +360 favorite in the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship odds. Meanwhile, Schauffele is priced at +750 in this week’s PGA Tour odds and he’s followed by Rory McIlroy (+850) and Collin Morikawa (+1400).
