Scottie Scheffler leads by two entering Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, with Sungjae Im and Sam Burns chasing in Memphis.
Scottie Scheffler has spent most of 2026 lurking near the top of leaderboards. Now the world No. 1 has another chance to slam the door.
Scheffler enters Sunday’s final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship at 13-under, holding a two-shot advantage over Sungjae Im and Sam Burns at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
With a $20 million purse on the line and the FedExCup Playoffs underway, Sunday has the ingredients for a heavyweight finish.
Scheffler put himself in command with Friday’s spectacular 9-under 61, tying the TPC Southwind course record.
He followed with a steady 2-under 68 Saturday, enough to keep control while the players behind him took their shots.
Burns made the biggest move.
The former LSU star torched Southwind with an 8-under 62, jumping to 11-under and earning a spot in Sunday’s final group.
Im also sits at 11-under after another composed week, setting up a three-man battle with Scheffler holding the advantage.
Jake Knapp and reigning FedExCup champion Tommy Fleetwood are tied for fourth at 8-under, five shots behind the leader.
Scheffler is chasing his second victory of the 2026 season after winning The American Express in January.
He’s hardly disappeared since, piling up five runner-up finishes, but another trophy has remained frustratingly out of reach.
Sunday offers the perfect place to end that drought.
TPC Southwind, a 7,288-yard par-70, has enough danger to keep the outcome from feeling settled.
Water, demanding approach shots and pressure-packed closing holes can turn a comfortable lead into chaos quickly.
Fans won’t have trouble finding the action.
Golf Channel will carry coverage from noon-2 p.m. ET, with CBS taking over from 2-6 p.m. ET. PGA TOUR LIVE coverage through the ESPN App begins at 8 a.m. ET and continues through 6 p.m.

But all eyes eventually will move to Scheffler.
He has the lead, the world No. 1 ranking and another trophy sitting within reach. Now comes the part that matters most: finishing.
