Fantasy Golf: FedEx St. Jude Championship DFS Player Selections
By Hans Geevers
This week, the PGA Tour travels to Memphis, Tennessee for the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship.
The 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship will be played at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. The golf course is a par 70 that measures approximately 7,243 yards.
Let’s take a look at the first event of the FedEx Cup playoffs from a fantasy golf perspective!
Before I discuss my fantasy golf player selections I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact lineup for a specific fantasy provider.
Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!
Here are my fantasy golf/DFS player selections for the first FedEx Cup Playoff event!
