Scottie Scheffler Dominates 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship with 8-Shot Win in Memphis
Scottie Scheffler returned to his best form on Sunday, cruising to an eight-shot victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.
Scheffler closed with a 4-under 66 to finish at 17-under 263, recording the biggest winning margin in the 68-year history of TPC Southwind. The victory ended a nearly seven-month wait for his second title of the season.
Despite a brief scare on the par-5 third, where a bunker shot bounced off a sprinkler and rolled into the water, Scheffler quickly regained control with back-to-back birdies on the fifth and sixth holes.
Si Woo Kim finished runner-up at 9-under, while Sam Burns and Alex Noren shared third. Scheffler’s victory marked the 21st PGA Tour title of his career, with 10 of those wins coming by at least four shots.
The win also earned Scheffler $3.6 million and secured an additional $23 million in FedExCup bonus money after he maintained the No. 1 position heading into the BMW Championship.
Scheffler now has two wins, five runner-up finishes and five other top-four results this season, strengthening his case for a fifth consecutive PGA Tour Player of the Year award.
