In the last decade, the winning scores at TPC Southwind have been between 9-under par and 13-under par except for 2009 when Brian Gay surprised everyone with an 18-under par. The TPC Southwind course is considered difficult so it is not a huge surprise that the scorers have been higher. It is also worth noting that many of the world’s top players skip this event to take the week off before the U.S. Open. The only big name winner in the last two decades was Dustin Johnson who won in 2012.

John Cook |
1996 |
The 26-under by Cook in 1996 may never be broken, as TPC Southwind is much tougher now than it was back then. No one has gotten anywhere near that record, considering the top mark in the last two decades is 20-under par. That is six shots back of the record set by Cook and that 20-under was shot in 2003. In the last ten years, the best winning score is 18-under par.

How to bet on FedEx St. Jude Classic
The odds of a golfer to win the FedEx St. Jude Classic will generally look something like:
- Tiger Woods + 150
- Phil Mickelson + 250
- Steve Stricker + 300
- Jeff Overton + 700
- Ernie Els + 700
- Field + 600
These betting odds will be lower when betting on a golfer to finish in the top three, as the sportsbook must pay off three different winning bets.
A player would have to bet $10 to win $150 that Tiger Woods will win the FedEx St. Jude Classic, while the bettor wagering on Jeff Overton stands to win $70 on their $10 wager.
Another commonly placed bet in PGA golf is head-to-head finish between two players. With this bet, a player doesn't really care what place the golfer finishes in, as long as the golfer wagered on finishes higher than the other golfer.
A head-to-head betting line for the FedEx St. Jude Classic will look something like:
- Tiger Woods - 190 Steve Stricker + 150
In this bet, players wagering on Woods to finish higher than Stricker will be asked to risk $19 to win $10, while bettors believing that Stricker will finish higher than Woods will bet $10 to win $15.
Those familiar with sports betting will have no trouble making the transition to PGA golf wagering, while those new to the world of sports betting should be able to pick up the concepts of PGA golf betting without to much trouble.
