FedEx St Jude Championship current form Picks
The world number one will play for the first time since he finished second at the 3M Open. A couple of weeks off, after again going close without winning, may have freshened up the American who was third here last year.
The Japanese player was a selection for this column last week at the Wyndam and finished tied for seventh - his third consecutive top 10. He won here two years ago and, based on that and current form, could be a contender again.
The American finished second at the Rocket Classic last week, two shots off the winner, to follow his top 20 a the Open. He was a runner-up at this event in 2024 so, in terms of current and course form, is aiming to go one better this week.
FedEx St Jude Championship course form Picks
This will be a first appearance for the Englishman since he finished tied fourth at The Open last month. He enjoys playing here, finishing third in 2025 and 2023, with a 22nd sandwich in between.
Rory is back for the first time since a disappointing Open (40) and could be in the mood for a tilt at an event where he was third in 2023 and fourth in 2019.
The defending champion is a big price and he arrives on the back of a missed cut at The Open. Returning to a venue where his previous finishes were 22 and 20 could help him get back on track.
