  • Tournament hosted by TPC Southwind, Memphis, Tennessee
  • Preview, predictions, stats & form
The first tournament of three in the FedEx Cup playoffs begins on the greens at TPC Southwind, with the FedEx St. Jude Championship on the line. Who will lift the trophy in Tennessee come Sunday?

Will Zalatoris will not be back to defend his title after victory in 2022.

Past and present Major winners in the lineup include Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark, Jon Rahm, Matt Fitzpatrick, Scottie Scheffler, Keegan Bradley, Jason Day, Lucas Glover, Hideki Matsuyama, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose and Jordan Spieth.

These are our selections that could win the title this weekend. 

Jon Rahm


Jon Rahm has been holding form for since his victory at the Masters in April, finishing T15 at the RBC Heritage, 2nd at the Mexico Open, T50 at the PGA Championship, T16 at the Memorial Tournament, T10 at the US Open, MC at the Travelers Championship and T2 at the Open Championship.

Before that, Rahm had been in sensational touch during the regular season on the PGA Tour, winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions, the American Express and the Genesis Invitational.

Other notable performances by the Spaniard include placing T4 at the CJ Cup, T8 at the Hero World Challenge, T7 at the Farmers Insurance Open and 3rd at the WM Phoenix Open.

The world number three has achieved excellent results at TPC Southwind, placing 7th in 2019, T52 in 2020 and T5 in 2022.

Rahm will be looking to add his fifth title of the season when he takes to the greens at the FedEx St. Jude Championship this weekend.

Rickie Fowler


Rickie Fowler has been in tremendous form on the PGA Tour since the end of May, placing T6 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, T9 at the Memorial Tournament, T5 at the US Open, T13 at the Travelers Championship, and victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic before finishing T42 at Genesis Scottish Open and T23 at the Open Championship.

Fowler started his comeback earlier in the season, with his best results being T6 at the Fortinet Championship, T2 at the ZOZO Championship, T11 at the Farmers Insurance Open, T10 at the WM Phoenix Open, T13 at the Players Championship, T17 at the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play, T10 at the Valero Texas Open, T15 at the RBC Heritage and T14 at the Wells Fargo Championship.

The 34-year-old American has graced the greens of the TPC Southwind twice in his career, finishing T15 in 2020 and T64 in 2022.

Fowler's name has featured on the leaderboards throughout the regular season and has the game to secure another tournament victory come Sunday.

Max Homa


Max Homa has been thereabouts in his last three starts, placing T21 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, T12 at the Genesis Scottish Open and T10 at the Open Championship.

Homa has secured two titles on the PGA Tour this season, lifting the trophy at the Fortinet Championship and Farmers Insurance Open.

Additional highlights the 32-year-old has achieved include finishing 17th at the Hero World Challenge, T3 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, 2nd at the Genesis Invitational, T14 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, T6 at the Players Championship, T9 at the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play, T8 at the Wells Fargo Championship and T9 at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

The American has yet to make a solid run at TPC Southwind, finishing T61 in 2019, T52 in 2020, T51 in 2021 and T42 in 2022.

Homa has not been far off from returning to winning ways and offers an excellent each-way bet at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. 

Tom Kim 


Tom Kim has been in excellent touch lately, placing T8 at the US Open, T38 at the Travelers Championship, MC at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, T6 at the Genesis Scottish Open and T2 at the Open Championship.

Other notable results achieved by Kim on the PGA Tour this season include a victory at the Shriners Children's Open and placing T11 at the CJ Cup, T10 at the Hero World Challenge, T5 at the Tournament of Champions, T6 at the American Express, T16 at the Masters and T7 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

The young Korean superstar finished T13 overall on debut at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in 2022.

Tom Kim has found solid form on the golf course and will fancy his chances to upstage the others at TPC Southwind this weekend.

Verdict

Rahm has been the leading light on the PGA Tour this season and is showing signs he is ready to win again in Memphis.

Fowler has been playing well all season and will fancy his chances to take home the winner's cheque at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
 
Homa has been posting consistent results lately and can convert that form into victory at the TPC Southwind this weekend.
 
Tom Kim has been in great touch in recent starts and is the long-shot value bet in Tennessee.
