FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind: Prize Money Breakdown and Key Facts
The 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship, a significant event in the PGA Tour calendar, took place at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. This tournament, designed by Ron Prichard with assistance from Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller, is a par-70 course measuring a little over 7,200 yards.
The tournament, which opened in 1988, previously hosted the PGA Tour's FedEx St. Jude Classic from 1989 to 2018. This year, it marked the beginning of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, a series with a total payout of $100 million overall. The FedEx St. Jude Championship had a total prize purse of $20 million, with the winner taking home a substantial $3.6 million.
The prize money distribution was as follows:
- 1st place (Justin Rose): $3,600,000
- 2nd place (J.J. Spaun): $2,160,000
- Tied 3rd place (Scottie Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood): $1,160,000 each
- 5th place (Cameron Young): $800,000
- Tied 6th place (Akshay Bhatia, Rickie Fowler, Andrew Novak): $670,333.33 each
- Tied 9th place (Ludvig Åberg, Kurt Kitayama, Patrick Cantlay, Chris Kirk): $501,000 each
This distribution reflects the tournament's status as one of the PGA Tour's most lucrative events, rewarding both top finishes and strong overall performance under playoff pressure. Notably, all 70 players involved in the FedEx St. Jude Championship made the weekend due to a no-cut rule, ensuring that everyone in the field had a chance to compete for a six-figure check.
The course record at TPC Southwind is 61, achieved by Jay Delsing in 1993, Bob Estes in 2001, and Tom Lewis in 2020.
The FedEx St. Jude Championship is a crucial event in the race for the FedEx Cup. Scottie Scheffler, currently the runaway leader in the season-long points race, was seeking his second consecutive FedEx Cup. If he were to achieve this, he would join Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the only multiple-time winners.
The FedEx St. Jude Championship was the opening round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, a series that concludes with the Tour Championship in September. The winner of the FedEx Cup will receive a $15 million prize, making it the richest event in golf.
