2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship field and player rankings explored

After an eventful PGA Tour season, the FedEx Cup Playoffs field is finally ready. The Playoffs are set to start on Thursday, August 10, with the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The event at the TPC Southwind in Memphis will feature a field of 70 players, headlined by Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and more, competing over four days.

The 46th tournament of the 2023-2023 PGA Tour season and the first event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs offers a whopping $20 million purse.

Unsurprisingly, the event, which limited its field to 70 from last year’s 125, will have 38 of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking among its top contenders.

2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship field

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will lead the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship field. The star golfer will be followed by World No. 2 Rory McIlroy and No. 3 Jon Rahm. Unsurprisingly, the top three-ranked golfers are also favorites to win the first FedEx Cup Playoffs event. In-form Rahm is the top bet for the event.

Players like Patrick Cantlay, Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffele, Max Homa, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Jordan Spieth are among the big names to watch at the event. The FedEx Cup Playoffs will not feature LIV golfers unlike the major championships.
