Jon Rahm has topped the power rankings of the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship, followed by Scottie Scheffler. Rahm has displayed an incredible performance throughout the season. He has won the Sentry Tournament of Champions, The American Express, the Genesis Invitational Open, and then the Masters earlier this year.

He last played at The Open and finished in the T2 position in a four-way tie with Sepp Straka, Jason Day, and Tom Kim. He has also topped the FedEx Cup Standings and has a splendid record in the Playoffs. Rahm finished in the T5 position last year.

Scottie Scheffler settled for the second position in the power rankings for the first playoff of the FedEx Cup, which will start with the inaugural round on Thursday, August 10. Last year, the American golfer won the Masters and was named the 2022 Player of the Year. He did not, however, win the 2022 FedEx Cup and had to settle for T2. Scheffler is looking forward to moving up from runner-up to champion this year.

The 27-year-old has dominated the PGA Tour dating back to the beginning of 2023 and also won the 2023 Phoenix Open and The Players Championship. He played at The Open last month, where he tied for the 23rd position.

Rory McIlroy is in third position in the power rankings for the 2023 St. Jude Championship. The Northern Irish golfer won the Scottish Open last month before heading for The Open, where he tied for sixth place with Emiliano Grillo.
