Scottie Scheffler wins FedEx St. Jude Championship by eight shots

Scottie Scheffler secured an eight-shot victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, finishing at 17 under par. This win marks his 21st PGA Tour title and ends a drought dating back to January 2026. Scheffler’s performance included a notable second-round 61, which tied the course record.

Si Woo Kim finished as the solo runner-up at nine under par. Other notable performances included Sam Burns and Alex Noren, who tied for third, and Sungjae Im, who finished tied for fifth. Im’s performance was significant as it moved him from 53rd into the top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings, ensuring his advancement to the BMW Championship.

In contrast, several high-profile players struggled. Jordan Spieth failed to secure a spot in the top 50, finishing tied for 19th and missing the next stage of the playoffs. Rory McIlroy also faced a difficult week, finishing in 66th place. Additionally, veteran Rickie Fowler announced he will undergo sinus surgery following the conclusion of the season.
