The WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational signals the conclusion of a long 2021 regular season for most of the best in the world who are teeing it up at TPC Southwind this week. After a summer full of big-time tournaments, that regular season draws to a close next week at the Wyndham Championship, which the majority of top players will skip to prepare for the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
This is also the second consecutive limited-field, no-cut tournament following last week’s 2020 Tokyo Olympics competition. While that field featured some of the best players in the world, this one features nearly all of them with World No. 1 Jon Rahm the lone top 25 player not in attendance. When the biggest stars in the sport show up, there’s always plenty of storylines to keep an eye on.
Dustin Johnson is trying to snag his first PGA Tour win of 2021 on a course he’s dominated in the past. Rory McIlroy is trying to maintain the momentum he built up in Tokyo last week. Xander Schauffele is returning to the PGA Tour as a gold medal winner. Collin Morikawa is returning to the PGA Tour as a two-time major champion. Jordan Spieth has quietly been one of the best players in the world this summer, even though he hasn’t punched in a W.
