Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx St. Jude Championship on August 16, 2026, finishing at 17-under par for an eight-shot victory at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. He carried a three-shot lead into the weekend and extended it over the final two rounds, beating runners-up Si Woo Kim and Sam Burns, who each finished at 9-under. It was Scheffler's 21st career PGA Tour title and his first win in nearly seven months, and the eight-stroke margin broke John Cook's 1996 record for the largest winning margin in tournament history at TPC Southwind. Scheffler earned $3.6 million from the event's $20 million purse and moved to the top of the FedExCup standings with 4,873 points, advancing to the BMW Championship in St. Louis.
The win came after Scheffler opened a commanding gap through 36 holes and never allowed the weekend field to threaten it, a result consistent with his dominant 2026 season form. Community forecasters correctly anticipated the outcome, with 78% predicting Scheffler would win before the tournament concluded.
