FedEx St. Jude Championship Live Leaderboard

On Thursday, August 13, five golfers finished the first round of the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship tied for the lead at 5-under par at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee: Michael Kim, Kurt Kitayama, Jake Knapp, Jordan Spieth, and Michael Thorbjornsen.
The FedEx St. Jude Championship serves as the opening event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, offering a $20 million total purse with the winner earning $3.6 million.
Rookie Michael Thorbjornsen overcame health issues to share the lead, while Jake Knapp surged with birdies on his final three holes and Kurt Kitayama rebounded from two early bogeys to finish at 5-under.
Hideki Matsuyama birdied six of his final seven holes to finish at 4-under par, sitting one shot off the lead alongside Tommy Fleetwood and Gary Woodland.
With only the top 50 players advancing to the BMW Challenge, contenders like Robert MacIntyre must improve during Friday's second round to keep their playoff hopes alive.
