Previewing the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational
Defending champion Brooks Koepka returns to the site of his most recent tournament victory. The 30-year-old comes into the event not nearly as sharp as he was last summer when he was riding on the strength of a win at the PGA Championship. Koepka has struggled with a knee injury in the year since and enters the event with just one top-10 finish on the season. He’ll go off the No. 1 tee at 1:50 p.m. (ET) alongside Viktor Hovland and Patrick Reed.
Jon Rahm makes his first start since ascending to world No. 1 when he won the Memorial Tournament two weeks ago. The Spaniard has been on quite a heater this season with five top 10s in six starts and a scoring average that ranks sixth on Tour. He’ll get his week started on the 10th tee at 12:40 a.m. (ET) in a grouping with Rickie Fowler and Bryson DeChambeau.
