PGA Tour one-and-done is perhaps the best fantasy golf game, with season-long leagues that give players a chance to pick one player for each tournament in the league season.

Once again in 2025, we offer weekly PGA Tour one-and-done golf picks for leagues of all kinds, including survivor leagues where the selected player mUSt make the cut for the entry to continue to the next tournament.

We continue our 2025 PGA Tour one-and-done picks with the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship, concluding at the 2025 Tour Championship, keeping track of our picks all along the way.

Before we begin, if you're not familiar with game, read this primer on the one-and-done fantasy golf format, and welcome to the game. It really is as easy as it sounds, but you have to take a long-term view of the season to figure out how best to USe players.

This week, we have the FedEx St. Jude Championship, with the PGA Tour playing its playoff opener at TPC Southwind, which can prove a tough scoring test with plenty of deep grass and hazards.

LAST CHANCE! GNN MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL: Join now and get 2 years for the price of 18 months OR 3 years for the price of 2 years! Access all our winning tools and analysis, as well as two annual gifts!

It's FedEx St. Jude Championship week, and the 69-player field this week is clearly good, even without Rory. However, there aren't many good horses for courses here.

We've been enjoying a strong finish to the season, so let's finish it off well.

2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship One and Done picks

  • Russell Henley: Henley's game does seem to suit this place, and he's enjoyed his best season on the Tour.
  • Brian Harman: Harman has a medal-stand finish at the venue, and he's been playing good golf to end the season.
  • Viktor Hovland: Hovland has a pair of top-15 finishes here as a playoff event, which makes him rare.
  • Sepp Straka: Straka was runner-up here to Will Zalatoris in 2022, and he's a much better player now.

My pick this week is Russell Henley.
