Justin Rose secured his 12th PGA Tour victory and 26th worldwide win by capturing the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis after a three-hole sudden-death playoff against J.J. Spaun. At 45 years old, Rose became the first player in his 40s to win on the PGA Tour this season and the oldest winner since Phil Mickelson in 2021. The victory added $3.6 million to Rose's career earnings, which now exceed $73 million, placing him among the PGA Tour's top career money earners. The tournament's dramatic conclusion included a decisive birdie on the third playoff hole. Following the FedEx St. Jude Championship, attention has shifted to the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club, the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Scottie Scheffler entered the BMW Championship as the favorite, starting strong with a 3-under through four holes. Robert MacIntyre emerged as the first-round leader after shooting a career-low 62, highlighted by a career-best six consecutive birdies, including a 66-foot putt, giving him a four-stroke lead over Scheffler. Tommy Fleetwood also contended early, tying for the lead at 4-under through 12 holes. Rory McIlroy recorded the first eagle of the BMW Championship on the 16th hole. Meanwhile, LIV Golf Indianapolis saw Sebastián Muñoz shoot a remarkable 12-under-par 59 in the first round, marking a historic performance despite a double bogey. The PGA Tour money leaders were closely monitored ahead of the BMW Championship as the postseason intensifies.
