The excitement is intact as the last leg of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs takes place to kick-start the conclusion of the season. This year, 70 players will compete for the title. Amid this, the beauty, Paige Spiranac, is back with her evergreen picks for the tour.

The social media icon’s predictions might not always come true. But that does not falter her confidence. Perhaps that is the reason so many fans look up to her. In a recent Twitter post, she once again hopped onto the picks wagon, and starting with a funny note, she went on to reveal her top picks for the $20 million FedEx St. Jude Championship!
She said, “Staying with the same trends that I have been doing, when you see a player who is playing well, I’m going to keep picking them until they get it done. And that player is Tyrrell Hatton. I have been following him for a while now, and he has been playing quite well.”
Paige does not fail to provide a perfectly good reason for her pick, though. “But this course sets up perfectly well for him. You have to drive it straight, you have to be great with your mid-to-short irons, and you have to be a fantastic putter. And guess who is close in all of those categories to being at the top is Tyrrell Hatton.”

However, she provides two other names in her caption: Byeong Hun An (Ben An) and James Poston (JT Poston). She writes. “Pick for this weeks! Trying to give you some good value picks, so I’m liking Ben An and JT Poston.”
The Instagram model’s hot pick, Tyrrell Hatton, has a reputation for being a ‘hot-headed’ pro. He throws clubs, yells, and, in a recent episode at the Scottish Open, caught attention for obscene gestures. It will be interesting to see if his performance comes out as strong in the first leg of the playoffs. However, in this ever-competitive field, nothing is certain. And other experts prove exactly that!

The defending champion, Will Zalatoris, is recovering from back surgery and will not defend his title. The CBS golf experts are banking on Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, to win the first leg of the playoffs.
The experts have a list of its top three players to win the Jude Field. After Scheffler, the strongest contender is FedEx Cup No. 1 Jon Rahm, immediately joined by the Irishman Rory McIlroy. But when it comes to predictions, Paige Spiranac has proven herself right in the past.
She did pick McIlroy for the Genesis Scottish Open, and he did bring the title back with him. Rickie Fowler also won the Rocket Mortgage Classic, and the social media star was in complete support of him. So, even though the experts have not picked up on Tyrrell Hatton, Paige Spiranac has.
