Hideki Matsuyama claimed victory at the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship with a composed and resilient performance, securing his 10th PGA Tour win. Matsuyama, who had held the largest 54-hole lead of the season, encountered a turbulent back nine but managed to hold off challenges from Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland.
His final score of 17-under-par earned him a two-stroke victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, adding another prestigious title to his impressive résumé, which now includes a FedEx Cup Playoff win. Matsuyama’s triumph solidifies his status as one of the premier golfers on the tour, following his bronze medal at the Paris Olympics.
Schauffele and Hovland both put forth strong performances at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, finishing in a tie for second place at 15-under-par. Hovland, in particular, showcased his improvement in ball striking, climbing from 57th to 16th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Schauffele, while unable to close the gap on Matsuyama, remained a strong contender throughout the tournament, highlighted by a final-round 63. Both players now look ahead to the BMW Championship with renewed confidence, eager to make a further impact on the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
Scottie Scheffler, despite his criticisms of the FedEx Cup format, proved his consistency by securing a fourth-place finish at 13-under-par. Scheffler maintained his position as the No. 1 seed in the FedEx Cup standings, ensuring a strong starting position for the Tour Championship.
While he may not have claimed victory in Memphis, his performance at the FedEx St. Jude Championship reaffirms his standing as a top contender heading into the final stages of the playoffs. His ability to perform under pressure, even when voicing concerns about the tournament structure, underscores his status as a leading figure on the tour.
Notable mentions include Nick Dunlap, who continued his rapid ascent with a tied fifth-place finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, alongside Sam Burns. Dunlap’s remarkable consistency, even at the young age of 20, highlights his potential to become a future star on the PGA Tour.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy struggled throughout the week, finishing tied for 68th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, a rare misstep in an otherwise strong season. As the playoffs progress, all eyes will be on these top performers as they continue to battle for the coveted FedEx Cup title.
