After a bunch of notable WDs on Tuesday, the field for the FedEx St. Jude Classic is finally set and will take on the challenge of one of the most difficult par 70s on the PGA TOUR, TPC Southwind. Located in Memphis, Tennessee, TPC Southwind has been the host of the FedEx St. Jude Classic for 30 straight years now. It will play as a par 70 measuring 7,244 yards and rewards golfers that can hit fairways and putt well on the bermuda greens. Overall, golfers with a solid tee-to-green game will likely play well this week, but ones able to land the ball close to the pin will be the ones threatening to win. Daniel Berger has shown that twice now with back-to-back wins here by finishing in the top 10 in proximity to the hole on both occasions. Finally, clear and sunny conditions are in the forecast for the tournament with only a very little chance of rain over the weekend. Wind is not expected to be a factor.
The FGI PGA Interactive Model is going to assist us with our lineup building process because it identifies the best golfers with solid Recent Form and whose Key Stats set up nicely for TPC Southwind. It also allows us to factor in previous Course Form as well as an emphasis on Vegas (odds to win). Below are the FGI PGA Interactive Model Overall weights I will be using this week along with the Key Stats weights for the FedEx St. Jude Classic provided by our friends at Fantasy Golf Metrics:
