Scottie Scheffler will tee it up at the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Thursday, as he looks to bag his fifth PGA Tour win of the season.
The 2025 PGA Tour season has been a stellar one for Scheffler, with four victories including two major championships to his name.
The 29-year-old world number one is currently sitting at the top of the FedEx Cup points list and he has been the standout player on the PGA Tour this season.
Scheffler received an $18 million bonus for topping the FedEx Cup standings and the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 at the end of the regular season.
Now his main goal will be to finish off the season strongly before the Ryder Cup starts next month.
Scheffler has been playing the best golf we have seen in a very long time over the past few months, and it would take a brave man to bet against him winning this week at TPC Southwind.
Scottie Scheffler gives verdict on FedEx St. Jude Championship golf course
Scheffler addressed the media in Memphis, Tennessee, on Wednesday.
On the eve of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scheffler was asked by reporters what he thinks of TPC Southwind as a golf course.
He replied: “They did a good job I think with the runoff areas around the greens here. The new greens right now are really firm.
“I think this is a golf course that’s typically been pretty popular on TOUR, so I appreciated they didn’t come in when they renovated it and just completely change the golf course. I think they had a really good base for a solid golf course where ball-striking is important. You’ve got to hit it well around this place.
“I think they did a really good job. The golf course is healthy. They kept the DNA of what’s made this course really good and then enhanced it with some of the pitching areas. Right now with how firm the greens are, you’ve got to get the ball in the fairway if you want to score.“
“The course is looking good. It’s in really good shape. The greens, it is amazing that they shut this place down in January and they’re able to have it looking the way it does right now. It’s in amazing shape.
“The greens are really starting to firm up. Scores should be a little higher this week. The rough is healthy. There’s going to be a big premium on getting the ball in play, and it should be a really good test this week.“
Scheffler is clearly a huge fan of TPC Southwind, and on paper, his game is ideally suited to the layout in Memphis.
