The top-70 players in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs will tee it up this week at in Memphis for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. TPC Southwind, which has hosted a PGA Tour event since 1989, features narrow Zoysia fairways, the third tiniest greens on tour, sticky, unpredictable Bermuda rough and water hazards galore. It is target golf in its most extreme form. This event has unsurprisingly been dominated by elite iron players over the years. Hideki Matsuyama will return to defend his title, and Lucas Glover, Will Zalatoris, Daniel Berger and Justin Thomas are all other tremendous approach players who have triumphed at TPC Southwind.
One player who has surprisingly not triumphed at TPC Southwind is Scottie Scheffler, who will be making his eighth appearance at the Ron Prichard design. X
