Scottie Scheffler wins FedEx St. Jude Championship

Overview

Scottie Scheffler secured a dominant eight-stroke victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind, finishing at 17-under par. This margin represents the largest in the 68-year history of the course and marks Scheffler’s 21st career title and his first win in nearly seven months. The win earns Scheffler $3.6 million and 750 FedEx Cup points, solidifying his position as the world No. 1 and the leader in the FedEx Cup.

Scheffler’s performance was characterized by elite putting and approach play, despite a brief setback on the third hole when a bunker shot hit a sprinkler head and landed in the water. This victory also moves him closer to Tiger Woods on the PGA Tour’s all-time career earnings list.

Si Woo Kim’s second-place finish at 9-under par earned him $2.16 million and moved him up to fourth in the FedEx Cup rankings, securing his spot in the BMW Championship. Other notable advancements include Sungjae Im and Im Seong-jae, who secured spots in the playoffs, and Sam Burns and Alex Noren, who tied for third.

In contrast, Rory McIlroy struggled in his first competitive appearance since the Open Championship. Finishing 66th out of 68 golfers with an 8-over par total, McIlroy expressed frustration, stating he felt ‘lost with my golf swing’ due to over-focusing on mechanics. He noted that the heavy focus on mechanics caused him to lose sight of his intended shots, remarking, ‘Sometimes the golf swing becomes more important than the actual golf shot.’ Despite the poor finish, he remains 13th in the FedEx Cup standings and will proceed to the BMW Championship.
