FANAU BACK TO DEFEND HIS FEDEX ST.JUDE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AGAINST A STAR-STUDDED FIELD, CATCH ALL THE ACTION ON DSTV SUPERSPORT
By KGG TEAM
SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to seeing all the action from the PGA Tour’s FedEx St. Jude Championship from TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee from Thursday 11 to Sunday 14 August 2022.
SuperSport is the ultimate destination for Golf fans, with an unparalleled selection of action from around the world.
For the first time, the FedEx St. Jude Championship – formerly The Northern Trust tournament which would alternate between New York and Boston – will come to Tennessee as the first event in the FedExCup Playoffs.
Last year, this event was won by American Tony Finau, who shot a 264 (-20) before defeating Australia’s Cameron Smith in a playoff.
This year’s FedExCup has been affected by the formation of the LIV Golf Invitational Series, with the PGA Tour recently confirming that it will use a secondary points list, ensuring that “suspended members do not negatively impact other players’ tournament eligibility, positioning on the priority rankings or eligibility to compete in the FedExCup playoffs”.
While the new list will not take the place of the official FedExCup points list, it will provide clarity for players and fans alike in regard to tournament eligibility, including the FedExCup playoffs and priority rankings for the 2022-23 season.
“We have taken steps to ensure that at the conclusion of the FedExCup regular season and FedExCup playoffs, any suspended players will not negatively impact bonus money distributions to [players],” said the PGA Tour.
“You will be awarded bonus money based on your final position on the FedExCup playoffs and eligibility points list; suspended members will be awarded bonus money based on their final position on the official FedExCup points list.”
The field for the FedEx St. Jude Championship will feature defending champion Finau, as well as reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Cameron Young, Davis Riley and Chad Ramey.
“As the eyes of the golf world turn to Memphis for the kick-off to the FedExCup Playoffs in August, the FedEx St. Jude Championship can’t wait to celebrate our hometown,” said Executive Director Joe Tomek.
“This event will showcase the heart of Memphis to the fans at TPC Southwind. We’re excited to celebrate all Memphis has to offer and engage new audience to experience the championship for the first time during one of the biggest events on the PGA Tour.”
The TPC Southwind features a 7244-yard par 70 course. The purse for the FedEx St. Jude Championship is $15million.
