The 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first event of the three-event FedEx Cup Playoffs, teed off Thursday. Now we move into the second round of action at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler did what he is known to do: stay in contention on the leaderboard. He starts the day tied for 12th (-3). If all goes according to plan, the 29-year-old golfer would be well-positioned heading into next week’s BMW Championship and have momentum to claim a second consecutive FedEx Cup championship.
The story from Day 1 was Akshay Bhatia, who put up a solid 8-under par showing to claim control of the tournament after the first round. Tommy Fleetwood is not far behind after finishing the round with four consecutive birdies.
For those wondering from home, Rory McIlroy is indeed absent from the proceedings. With a Masters title and second place in the FedEx Cup standings in tow, McIlroy opted for rest this week as he looks to the final two legs of the playoffs.
Stay tuned for live updates from the first event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs at the St. Jude Championship from Memphis. USA TODAY Sports will have full coverage:
