The 2023 Fedex Cup Playoffs begin on Thursday with the FedEx St. Jude Championship. It is time to consider golf’s big three–Scottie Scheffler of the United States, Jon Rahm of Spain, and Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland. Let’s take a look at what they have done in 2023 and why they are a contender to win in Memphis this week.
Scottie Scheffler
The world number one from Ridgewood, New Jersey actually missed the cut at the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship, which was won by the now injured Will Zalatoris. Normally we discourage you from choosing a golfer who has not played well at a particular course. However, we can make an exception this time around. That is because since Scheffler missed the cut at TPC Southwind a year ago, he has made 23 straight cuts including an amazing 14 top five finishes. Scheffler’s wins have come at the WM Phoenix Open and the Players Championship.

Jon Rahm
There were some concerns about the world number three’s game heading into the British Open as he missed the cut at the Travelers Championship. Then Jon Rahm silenced the critics with an impressive second place finish at the British Open. Rahm has won four times in 2023, more than any other golfer. His titles were at the Masters, the Genesis Open, the American Express and the Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Rory McIlroy
The world number two has had a great summer. Since the PGA Championship, he has been in the top 10 in seven straight tournaments, including a win at the Scottish Open.
