PGA Weekly Course Analysis: FedEx St. Jude Classic

Each week, Sean O’Donnell will break down the course in detail to figure out which golfers will be in the best position to succeed.

FedEx St. Jude Classic

Welcome, RotoGrinders! We return to a little Southern hospitality this week on the PGA Tour with the FedEx St. Jude Classic outside of Memphis. Sandwiched between some bigger events, notably next week’s US Open, we’ve got our “typical” pre-major field with a few superstars electing to “play into form” for next week joining a lot of hopefuls with one last shot to qualify. The balance of the field – the majority of the US Open field next week – is resting or preparing ahead of time and not competing this week. Let’s take a look at the background for this week’s festivities!

TPC Southwind Course:

Par: 70
Length: 7239
Scoring average per round: +0.75
Chances of bogey free round (field): 2.2%
