As we approach the end of the season, the FedEx St Jude Championship takes centre stage as the first event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs gets underway.
The tour will visit TPC Southwind, as it has since 2022, for the first of three playoff events. The BMW Championship will follow, and then the Tour Championship at East Lake is the season finale.
TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee was established in 1988 and has been a PGA Tour venue since 1989. It used to hold what was called the FedEx St Jude Classic and the WGC FedEx St Jude Invitational.
Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama is the defending champion after beating Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele by two shots in 2024.
