FedEx St Jude 2023

It’s the first event of the FedExCup Playoffs, with a tighter field and stakes that have never been higher.

The PGA TOUR returns to Memphis, Tennessee, for the FedEx St. Jude Championship to kick off the FedExCup Playoffs with only the top 70 in the Regular Season standings eligible to tee it up – down from 125 players in years past.

The top 50 after this week will advance to the BMW Championship at Olympia Fields outside Chicago.  Read more

From Golfweek, by Riley Hamel:

The top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings have made their way to Memphis, Tennessee, for the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind, this season’s first playoff event.

It’s no surprise to see world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler as the heavy betting favorite at +650. Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, Nos. 3 and 1 on the points list, respectively, are next in line at +900 to win. The Spaniard tied for fifth in Memphis last season while the other two missed the cut.  Read more

From Golf.com, by Kevin Cunningham:

The FedEx Cup Playoffs finally get underway this week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and the defending Cup champion is headlining a star-studded field.

Rory McIlroy captured his third-career FedEx Cup title last year after going on a torrid stretch to end the season. Now he returns to try and add a fourth Cup to his trophy shelf.  Read more

From SB Nation, by Savannah Leigh Richardson:

The playoffs are finally here. 70 of the best players in the world will tee it up for $20 million and eye that FedEx Cup title.

Keeping it in the fairway will be the name of the game in Memphis, so ball strikers will be drooling to take on this par-70 7,244-yard course. Will Zalatoris won’t be able to defend his title as he is still rehabbing a back injury.

Headlining the field are world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Rickie Fowler and countless others. Any four of those guys could come away with a victory this week. However, there are others to keep in mind.  Read more
