Tournament: FedEx St. Jude Championship, August 10-13, 2023
Course: TPC Southwind, par 70, 7,243 yards
Purse: $20 million in total, $3.6 million to the winner. 70th (last) place is good for $40,000. Hit one shot, withdraw, and go buy yourself a new bass boat with a sweet 4 stroke on the back.
Defending Champ: Will Zalatoris. While the guy is good (before he got injured), and certainly was deserving of a PGA Tour win, he was the recipient of the golf gods smiling upon him. In a playoff with UGA’s own Sepp Straka, Zalatoris barely cleared the water on the third playoff hole, bounced off the rocks but somehow stayed on dry land.
