Justin Thomas is tuning into the Memphis vibe ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The 16-time PGA Tour winner shared a screenshot of his Spotify playlist titled "Memphis Rap Mix" on Instagram, revealing his music choice for the week.
Thomas is set to compete in his 18th PGA Tour event of the season when the FedEx Cup Playoffs begin this week at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. The event is scheduled from August 7 to 10.
"Strictly Memphis rap this week for @fedexchamp," he wrote on his story.
The playlist includes several popular tracks from Memphis artists such as “Shorty Wanna Ride” by Young Buck, “Me Vs Me” by Moneybagg Yo, “Russian Cream” by Key Glock and “100 Shots” by Young Dolph. He was also seen listening to “Major” by Young Dolph featuring Key Glock at the time of posting.

Heading into the week, Thomas sits fifth in the FedEx Cup standings and fourth in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). He last teed it up at The Open Championship, where he finished T34 at 3-under. Notably, he did not play at last week’s Wyndham Championship, joining other top players like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy in skipping the final event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
Thomas started the year with a T26 at The Sentry, followed by a runner-up finish at The American Express. He also came second at the Valspar Championship and recorded a playoff win at the RBC Heritage. Other notable results include a T6 at the WM Phoenix Open, T9 at both the Genesis Invitational and Travelers Championship and a T2 finish at the Truist Championship.
However, he also missed the cut at two Majors, the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. He had some mid-field results such as T48 at Pebble Beach, T36 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Masters, and T33 at THE PLAYERS Championship.
