Scottie Scheffler enters the final round of the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind atop the leaderboard at 13-under, extending his FedExCup points lead while several top-10 contenders like Sam Burns and Sungjae Im sit within striking distance at 11-under. The 69-player field, drawn from the top FedExCup standings, features strong recent form from Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young, and Wyndham Clark, all chasing playoff advancement to the BMW Championship cut at 50 players. Course history at the demanding Memphis layout, combined with momentum from the regular season and recent major results such as Ryan Fox’s Open Championship victory, shapes positioning for top-20 finishes that deliver significant points and momentum. Defending champion Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy add experience to a tightly contested leaderboard where late-round surges or steady pars under pressure can shift outcomes dramatically.
