The FedEx St. Jude Championship 2026 kicks off the playoffs today with high stakes, as only one thing matters at TPC Southwind in Memphis: precise shots and ice-cold nerves. This is not a course for daredevils, but for strategists who send every ball to its target with clockwork precision. The stakes are immense, and the field is packed with stars, all with one goal in mind: the FedEx Cup.
Hard Facts, Crushing Pressure
TPC Southwind is a Par-70 course that, with its just over 7,200 yards (6,584 meters), narrow fairways, plenty of water, and tricky small greens, forgives no mistakes. This isn't about raw power, but about clean ball-striking and a razor-sharp approach game. Especially mid-irons, meaning shots from approximately 150-175 yards (137-160 meters) and 150-200 yards (137-183 meters) to the green, will determine victory or defeat. Those who don't perform here are out of luck.
