Scheffler Wins FedEx St. Jude Championship

60 sourcesUpdated Aug 17, 2026

Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis by eight strokes, finishing 17-under after a final-round 66 to capture his 21st PGA TOUR title and second of 2026. Burns shot 62 to contend but ended eight back, while Si Woo Kim finished solo second at 9-under. Scheffler had earlier in the week shot a 61, and his dominance helped him stretch his form as the final round unfolded. The victory solidifies Scheffler’s lead in the FedExCup standings heading into the BMW Championship, with the top 50 set to advance. The final-day drama saw Im and Burns fade, sealing a one-sided triumph for Scheffler.
