Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth have been popular PGA DFS picks for years, but daily Fantasy golf players will have to decide if they can be trusted when they set their PGA DFS strategy for the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship, which tees off on Thursday, Aug. 11. McIlroy, who's the highest priced player on both DraftKings and FanDuel, has finished T-5 or better in three of his last four starts, which includes a victory at the RBC Canadian Open. However, McIlroy enters this week's event ranked 116th in driving accuracy percentage (59.94), which could cause trouble at TPC Southwind. 

Spieth, whose PGA DFS price is $9,100 on DraftKings and $10,700 on FanDuel, has finished T-37 or worse in two of his last four starts. Can those household names be relied on as PGA DFS picks for the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2022? Or is it time to fade them in favor of players with a significantly lower price tag? Before you lock in your PGA DFS picks for the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship, check out the latest daily Fantasy golf picks, advice and player pool from SportsLine's Mike McClure.

Now, McClure has set his sights on the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship and revealed his optimal PGA DFS advice, strategy and player pool. Head to SportsLine now to see his top daily Fantasy golf picks for the FedEx St. Jude Championship 2022. 

2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship PGA DFS picks

One of McClure's top PGA DFS picks for the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship is Taylor Pendrith at $7,600 on DraftKings and $9,200 on FanDuel. Pendrith has recorded five consecutive top-15 finishes on the PGA Tour, and he'll enter this week's event confident he can have another strong showing. 

In order to score well at TPC Southwind, players will need to consistently find the green in regulation and few do it better than Pendrith. In fact, the 31-year-old enters this week's event ranked sixth in greens in regulation percentage (71.16). He also ranks inside the top-15 in driving distance (315.6) and strokes gained: off-the-tee (.570). Pendrith is a complete steal at this price point, so confidently lock him in your PGA DFS lineups.

McClure's optimal PGA DFS strategy also includes rostering Justin Thomas at $10,200 on DraftKings and $11,500 on FanDuel. Thomas is currently ranked eighth in the FedEx Cup standings, so he'll need a strong showing to have a legitimate shot at winning the season-long title. And despite finishing T-37 or worse in each of his last three starts on the PGA Tour, he'll enter this week's event with confidence. 

That's because Thomas has finished T-4 or better in three of his last four starts in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. In addition, the two-time major champion is ranked second in birdie average (4.64), fifth in scoring average (69.453) and seventh in overall putting average (1.569). Lock him in your PGA DFS lineups and look for a big return this week at the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship.
