Tournament and Course Notes for the FedEx St. Jude Championship

This week, we gear up for the first of three playoff events
You could argue that these events matter more for the Ryder Cup bubble boys and the second-tier golfers trying to make it into next year’s big events than it does for the elites, but we should never complain when the world’s best all tee it up at the same events
TPC Southwind is a long par 70 that can be challenging for golfers who aren’t precise off the tee and on their approach shots
Overall, the difficulty is close to TOUR average, and the winning score is typically around -15
Water is in play on 11 of the 18 holes
It’s always hot and humid this time of year in Memphis (Google Lucas Glover’s pants if you don’t believe me)
This is unique for a par 70 in that it is a driver-heavy course; golfers hit driver on a whopping 82% of tee shots here last year
The fairways are narrow and difficult to hit, and the penalty for missing the fairway is high
Focusing on golfers who gain strokes off the tee is not a bad approach this week
The greens here are small (4,500 square feet) and feature bermudagrass
Nearly 55% of approach shots will be hit from 100-175 yards
The greens are tough to hit in regulation, which places an emphasis on approach play and around-the-green play
Many good putters have won and have contended here over the years
I much prefer a strong tee-to-green game over strong putters at this course

What to Look For

Strokes Gained: Approach
Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee
Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green
Proximity from 100-175 yards
Bogey Avoidance
