And away we go!!! With the regular season now over, we move to The FedEx St. Jude for the first of the three playoff events. The field has (or will soon) the top 125 players. I believe there is still some uncertainty about whether any of the qualified LIV players who have requested a court injunction allowing them to participate will happen or not. As it stands now, 122 are listed and the remaining 3 will either be the LIV players of the 3 they will bump. Just what we need -- a little added drama to the seasons grand finale. TPC Southwind in Memphis, TN will try to throttle these guys (good luck with that). A par 70, 7243 yard layout that had input from Fuzzy Zoeller... let's see if you can pick out his quirky contributions. I'm guessing it had nothing to do with the #14, 239 yard par 3, often regarded as the most difficult on tour, but rather something to do with the bar . It seems certain that last years event winner will not return and defend the title - which somewhat surprises me. Why Ancer chose not to include his name with Swafford, Gooch, and Jones is odd. Perhaps he's just written the PGA off and moved on completely... dunno. As wild a ride as this year has been in professional golf, seems anything is possible. For those of us in the MGS FTx league who made the playoffs, good luck!

Memphis, TN. I've been their a couple of times as stops in route to other destinations. All I recall is it being steamy hot walking to/from airplanes on the open tarmac... back when we wore suits and ties . This weeks weather looks pretty tame. Anyone attending? @Tom the Golf Nut @sirchunksalot? Perhaps like no other event, the St. Jude has done so much for so many children and families dealing with various illnesses. Since 1962 this non-profit organization, founded by Danny Thomas, has led efforts in research to treat cancer. The players themselves do a lot of visiting and helping lift the spirits of the kids... very cool. A number of the field will be making their way back from Tokyo and might be a wee bit low on fuel. JT didn't have his best stuff this past week and I'm not thinking he'll get the repeat done. Maybe a back of the field winner - Kisner, Na, or Niemann? Hopeful as always that my FTx crew is there on Sunday... who ya got?
