Also teeing it up in Memphis next week is 2015 FedEx Cup champion Jordan Spieth, who just finished second in the British Open along with the world’s fifth-ranked player Xander Schauffele.

That gives the tournament four of the top five players in the world.

Spieth and Schauffele will both be making a third straight start at Southwind.

The 2021 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational runs from Thursday, August 5th through Sunday, August 8th.
