FedEx St. Jude Championship Second-Round Tee Times – The top players on the PGA Tour are fighting through the Memphis heat at TPC Southwind in the first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
The Tour has been held at this location every year since 1989, but this is only the third time it has been the opening event for the playoffs. The playoff format changed last season, moving this event from the top 125 to the top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings. The top 50 players will move on to next week’s BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club, just outside of Denver, and the top 30 will advance to the Tour Championship at Atlanta’s East Lake Golf Club.

FedEx St. Jude Championship and TPC Southwind
The format for the FedEx Cup Playoffs is not universally loved, especially once we get to East Lake’s staggered scoring, but we do get to see the Tour’s best players competing against each other for a few weeks in a row, so it’s better than nothing.
The winner of the event has had a finishing score in the teens over the past few years, but TPC Southwind can be more challenging than those scores suggest. The 7,243-yard par-70 course includes multiple doglegs, making it play longer than its yardage indicates. The course features zoysia grass fairways, Bermudagrass rough, and Championship Bermudagrass greens, all native to Southeastern United States golf. Scoring chances are limited if you don’t find the fairway off the tee. Additionally, the rate of hitting greens in regulation and the average proximity to the hole is significantly lower here than at an average Tour course, so golfers hitting their approach shots from the fairway will have a significant advantage this week.
The same goes for those who can work effectively on and around the greens, give🦹n that missing these small green complexes (whic🐓h are the third-smallest on the Tour) is inevitable.
The BMW Championship will only include the top 50 players in the FedExCup standings. This is the second year in a row that the tournament won’t have a cut due to the limited field. The course has a long history of hosting PGA Tour events, so there’s plenty of data to analyze. With $20 million in prize money up for grabs, the motivation is high for the top players to perform well. Points are quadrupled in the first two playoff events, giving players outside the top 50 a chance to improve their standings. The winner earns 2,000 points, while the 70th place earns just 12 points.
As for the 70 players that comprise this field, every eligible player will be in attendance, including each of the top eight ranked players in the world: Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark, Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland, and Patrick Cantlay. The biggest names staying home who finished outside the top 70 include Keith Mitchell, Rickie Fowler, Nicolai Hojgaard, and last year’s winner here, Lucas Glover.
