The 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship is set to tee off on Thursday, August 7 at TPC Southwind in Memphis. The event, starting the PGA Tour FedEx season playoffs, will feature 70 of this year’s most in-form players. The event’s stacked field will be headlined by Scottie Scheffler, who also leads the circuit’s power rankings.
It is pertinent to note that Official World Ranking (OWGR) No.1 Scheffler will be the highest-ranked player on the FedEx St. Jude Championship field. Interestingly, he won’t have his immediate rival, Rory McIlroy, alongside him this weekend as the latter announced his decision to skip the contest. Owing to this, World No.3 Xander Schauffele becomes the second-best rated player on the FedEx playoffs roster.
According to the PGA Tour power rankings, Scheffler enters the Memphis event as the favorite after winning The Open Championship. For the unversed, the in-form golfer has so far managed four wins this season, including the PGA Championship. Coming off of rest, the 29-year-old is expected to better his fourth-place finish here last year.
Interestingly, Schauffele sits fourth on the power rankings list. The two-time major isn’t a favorite to improve on his T2 finish last year. Notably, Matt Fitzpatrick sits second behind Scheffler despite finishing 41st on the FedEx Cup standings. Having gone T8-T4-T4-T8 since the Rocket Classic and added with experience of three top-six finishes at TPC Southwind, the Englishman is expected to come out as a surprise package this weekend.
Meanwhile, Harris English, who finished runner-up at both the PGA Championship and The Open, sits third on the power rankings. He enters the competition sitting seventh on the FedEx Cup standings. Russell Henley takes fifth place while winless Tommy Fleetwood settles in at sixth on the list.
Sepp Straka, sitting third on the season-long FedEx standings, sits 15th on the circuit’s rankings for St. Jude Championship. He trails the likes of Chris Gotterup, Justin Thomas, Harry Hall and the circuit’s most recent first-time winner, Cameron Young.
