The 2023 PGA FedEx Cup Playoffs get underway on Thursday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, played at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn. The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings are in attendance, meaning the return of loaded fields after some top players took the past few weeks off. Scottie Scheffler is the 13-2 favorite in the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship odds, followed by Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, both at 8-1.

We simulated the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship 10,000 times, and there are some MAJOR surprises. Join SportsLine here to see the model's shocking projected leaderboard.

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model predicted Jon Rahm would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. And at the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scottie Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, the model included Nick Taylor in its best bets to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open. That bet hit at +7000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,900. McClure's best bets also included Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 10 majors entering the weekend! Anyone who has followed it has seen MASSIVE returns! 

Originally known as the Memphis Open, this event has seen some big changes in recent years. In 2019 it began a brief stint as the home to a WGC event, but in 2021 it became the first event in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Now a no-cut tournament, this year's FedEx St. Jude Championship will only feature 70 players after the number of playoff participants was cut nearly in half from prior events. There's now a $20 million purse and the top 50 remaining golfers after this event in the FedEx Cup standings will move on in the playoffs. 

Now, the model has simulated the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship 10,000 times. One major surprise the model is calling for: McIlroy, one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn't finish in the top three! Another surprise: Tyrrell Hatton  , a 25-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday.

Also, the model is targeting THREE OTHER golfers with odds of 22-1 or longer who will make surprising runs at the title! Anyone who backs these golfers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any picks! 

So who wins the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2023, and which HUGE longshots make a serious run at the title? ... Join SportsLine right now to see who you can bank on to win, and see which longshots make a run at the title, all from the model that's nailed 10 majors, including this year's Masters and Open Championship!
