2021 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational Odds

Odds as of August 2nd

Brooks Koepka Loves This Track

Brooks Koepka has been treating TPC Southwind as his personal playground for years, as he won this tournament in 2019, then finished runner-up last year. The four-time major champion has also posted another second place showing in 2016 and was third in 2015.

He also appears recovered from his knee injury, racking up top-six results in four of the last five times teeing it up.

Koepka’s Strokes Gained Stats In Last 24 Rounds

Though he doesn’t present juicy odds, given that he’s a +1200 co-favorite, those odds aren’t terrible considering how fantastic he’s been at this venue in his career in addition to how well he’s currently playing.

2021 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational Best Value Picks

1. Bryson DeChambeau (+2800): At some point the value is just too good to pass up for such a talented player like Bryson DeChambeau. Though he doesn’t have a top-10 in his last seven starts and had to withdraw at the Olympics due to COVID-19, it’s not like ‘The Mad Scientist’ has been awful lately. In the last 24 rounds he’s first in strokes gained off the tee.
2. Patrick Reed (+4000): Another enigmatic player that is very enticing at these odds is Patrick Reed, who tends to shine brightest in better tournaments. That includes two WGC titles to his credit in 2014 and 2020. Eleventh in strokes gained tee-to-green and SG: short game in last 24 rounds. He’s had a fifth place and T-12 showings on this course.
3. Joaquin Niemann (+5000): 22-year-old Chilean star in the making Joaquin Niemann is coming off a top-10 at the Olympics. Three times this season he’s finished second, twice occurring in playoffs, including three starts ago at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
