MEMPHIS - The FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first event of the 2022 FedEx Cup Playoffs, will be held at TPC Southwind. The club has hosted PGA Tour events (FedEx St. Jude Classic), a World Golf Championship (WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational) and the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

At the conclusion of the three-week playoff, the 2022 FedEx Cup Champion will receive a bonus of $18 million.

World No. 1 and FedEx Cup leader Scottie Scheffler is making his third appearance in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, advancing to the Tour Championship in each of his first two seasons (No. 5 in 2019-20, No. 22 in 2020-21). Scheffler will make his fifth start at TPC Southwind, having played the FedEx St. Jude Classic twice on a sponsor exemption (MC/2014, T43/2018). Scheffler has won four times this season, including the Masters Tournament, and looks to become the second player to win the Masters and the FedEx Cup in the same season (Jordan Spieth, 2014-15). Scheffler received a $4 million bonus via the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 for holding the top spot in the FedEx Cup standings at the end of the regular season and a $1 million bonus for winning the Aon Risk Reward Challenge. The bonuses do not count towards his official money total of $13,176,910 million, the largest in a single season earnings in Tour history.

Tony Finau has won each of his last two starts on the PGA TOUR and is also the defending champion this week, winning the first event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs in 2021 at Liberty National Golf Club. Finau is one of three players this season to win in back-to-back starts, along with Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele. The last player to win in three consecutive starts on Tour was Dustin Johnson during the 2016-17 season (The Genesis Invitational, WGC-Mexico Championship, WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play).
