It’s the penultimate tournament of the PGA Tour season, and that means the FedEx Cup Playoffs will be the focal point for many golfers in the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic field. More specifically, they will be after FedEx Cup points, with only the top 125 golfers in the standings advancing to the St. Jude Championship in two weeks.

He takes a measured approach to his outright selections and is up more than 55 units on those plays in 2022, having hit Cameron Smith (22-1) at the Tournament of Champions, Hudson Swafford (250-1) at The American Express, Joaquin Niemann (70-1) at the Genesis Invitational and Justin Thomas (66-1) live…
