Previewing St. Jude Round 1

The FedEx Cup Playoffs are set to begin at the St. Jude, and all of the top PGA Tour stars are in the mix, with one eye on the $2.7 million winner’s share in Memphis, and one eye on the $18 million grand prize.

Among them is fan favorite and World No. 3 Rory McIlroy. The four-time major champion nearly made it five at the Open in July before falling short on Sunday, but he still has two wins on the season, earning him 6th place in the FedEx Cup standings.

Sitting above him at the beginning of the playoffs are Scottie Scheffler and Cameron Smith, who are Nos. 1 and 2 in both the FedEx standings and in the Official World Golf Ranking.

McIlroy will tee off for the opening round at 2:06 p.m. ET, while Scheffler and Smith will play in the same group beginning at 9:21 a.m. ET. You can stream the first round via PGA Tour Live on ESPN+, or watch the telecast on Golf Channel.
