Top FedEx St. Jude Championship Betting Markets & Odds

Everyone has heard of the big four majors of the PGA Tour: the Masters, the PGA Championship, the British Open, and the US Open. Sports bettors in Canada know that golf tournaments can be a challenging yet highly profitable way to bet on sports. With the culmination of the 2025 PGA Tour season just around the corner, things are heating up in the FedEx Cup race. This article will discuss the history of the FedEx Cup and how to bet on it at your preferred Canadian sportsbook in 2025.

The FedEx Cup is the season-long competition for the PGA Tour that awards the golfer with the most points at the end of the year. It was first introduced in 2007 and has evolved into a format that features a FedEx Cup Playoff Series, which is similar to a “postseason” for the PGA Tour season.

This playoff season has evolved since its inception in 2007. Today, the FedEx Cup is a season-long event, which also includes three playoff tournaments to determine the winner. These were added to allow the potential for more golfers to win the FedEx Cup, especially if the regular season points leader has a sizable lead on the field.

While the FedEx Cup does not quite hold the same significance or prestige as winning a major, it comes with a hefty cash prize and a five-year exemption from the PGA Tour.

The FedEx Cup begins with the first event of the PGA Tour schedule in January. Points are calculated for each golfer depending on their performance at each event. More prestigious events like majors and other significant tournaments will award the winners and qualifiers a higher number of points. Here are the point allotments for the FedEx Cup:

The ultimate goal for golfers is to make the Top 70 points leaders to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs. The top 70 points leaders will be eligible for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. After that event, the top 50 remaining points leaders will qualify for the BMW Championship, and then, finally, the top 30 remaining points leaders will qualify for the Tour Championship. These are the three tournaments that comprise the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

There have only been eighteen FedEx Cups since it was introduced in 2007. Even still, there have been two golfers with multiple FedEx Cup victories: Rory McIlroy with three (2016, 2019, 2022) and Tiger Woods with two (2007, 2009). This year, Scottie Scheffler will attempt to be the third golfer to win multiple FedEx Cups and the first to win in back-to-back years. Here is a history of the FedEx Cup winners since 2007:

The biggest change to the FedEx Cup rules in 2025 is that every player in the FedEx Cup playoffs will start at even par. Prior to 2025, the PGA allotted stroke leads to players with higher point totals, giving them an advantage right off the bat.

Payouts for the 2025 FedEx Cup have also changed. The winner of the FedEX Cup will walk away with a cool $10 million. The top 10 regular-season point scorers will split $20 million, and another $23.93 million will be split among the top 30 point scorers heading into the BMW Championship which is the final leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

For Canadian bettors who are looking to bet on the FedEx Cup at their preferred online betting sites, you’re in luck. There are three different tournaments to bet on in the FedEx Cup playoffs: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship, and the Tour Championship.

Bettors can wager on individual golfer performance, tournament winners, and many other golf betting markets. Here are a few of the more popular ways to bet on the FedEx Cup for Canadians in 2025.

FedEx Cup Outright Winner

With the new rules in place, it’s not a guarantee that the regular season winner will take home the FedEx Cup. The three events in the FedEx Cup playoffs award 2,000 points for the winner, which can easily swing the rankings. Who will win the 2025 FedEx Cup when all is said and done?

BMW Championship Winner

Not feeling confident in betting on the FedEx Cup Outright Winner at a Canadian betting site? Bettors can wager on the outright winner of any of the three FedEx Cup playoff events, including the BMW Championship.

FedEx Cup Top-5 and Top-10 Finishers

If you want to make a bet with a little more safety built into the odds, try betting on the FedEx Cup top-5 and top-10 finishers. The odds are much more in your favour than trying to bet on the outright winner, but the payout will be much lower.

FedEx Cup Head-to-Head Betting

Check your golf betting markets for a head-to-head market for the FedEx Cup. This allows you to bet on a golfer in a head-to-head performance matchup with another golfer. These bets can be tournament-long head-to-head matchups or just for a specific round.

Currently, the 2025 FedEx Cup is a two-horse race between the defending champion Scottie Scheffler and three-time FedEx Cup champion Rory McIlroy. Scheffler has a more than 800-point lead over McIlroy heading into the British Open. Can Scheffler hold McIlroy off over the FedEx Cup playoff events? Or can McIlroy pass Scheffler and take home his record fourth FedEx Cup?

The FedEx St. Jude Championship takes place at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, from August 7th to 10th, 2025.

The BMW Championship will take place at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, from August 14th to 17th, 2025.

Finally, the Tour Championship will take place at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia, from August 21st to 24th, 2025.
