Overcoming a 3-shot deficit on the final stretch, he finished the round with a score of 3 under 67, winning his 12th PGA Tour, securing a spot in Team Europe in the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Due to a family emergency that required his regular caddy, Ted Scott, to leave the St. Jude Championship early, Scotty Schaeffler had to complete the final round with an alternative caddy. Despite the changes, Schaeffler was tied to third place and scored a 12th straight top eight finish.<\/p>\n<p>Schaeffler is currently leading the FedEx rankings after the St. Jude Championship. Below is what the rankings will look like before the BMW Championship, which begins on August 14th.<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"390\" outstream=\"\"><\/partner-banner><media-gallery-promo asset-id=\"82286157007\" class=\"column ten-column no-gutter spacer-large\"><\/media-gallery-promo><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"presto-h2 wp-block-heading\">FedEx Cup Playoff Ranking<\/h2>\n<p><em>Note: Rankings after the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scottie Scheffler: 5,456 points<\/li>\n<li>Rory McIlroy: 3,444 points<\/li>\n<li>JJ Spaun: 3,344 points<\/li>\n<li>Justin Rose: 3,220 points<\/li>\n<li>Sepp Straka: 2,783 points<\/li>\n<li>Russell Henry: 2,579 points<\/li>\n<li>Ben Griffin: 2,555 points<\/li>\n<li>Tommy Fleetwood: 2,433 points<\/li>\n<li>Justin Thomas: 2,395 points<\/li>\n<li>Harris English: 2,269 points<\/li>\n<li>Andrew Novak: 1,991 points<\/li>\n<li>Cameron Young: 1,904 points<\/li>\n<li>Ludvig\u00c5berg: 1,839 points<\/li>\n<li>Keegan Bradley: 1,792 points<\/li>\n<li>Maverick McNerry: 1,787 points<\/li>\n<li>Corey Conners: 1,651 points<\/li>\n<li>Collin Morikawa: 1,573 points<\/li>\n<li>Brian Herman: 1,559 points<\/li>\n<li>Patrick Cantlay: 1,555 points<\/li>\n<li>Robert Macintyre: 1,550 points<\/li>\n<li>Matsuyama Hideki: 1,481 points<\/li>\n<li>Nick Taylor: 1,481 points<\/li>\n<li>Shane Laurie: 1,458 points<\/li>\n<li>Sam Burns: 1,381 points<\/li>\n<li>Sungjae In: 1.360 points<\/li>\n<li>Chris gotterup: 1,331 points<\/li>\n<li>Jacob Bridgeman: 1,298 points<\/li>\n<li>Viktor Hovland: 1,297 points<\/li>\n<li>Akshay Bhatia: 1,275 points<\/li>\n<li>Lucas Glover: 1,234 points<\/li>\n<li>Sam Stevens: 1,206 points<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Gerald: 1,202 points<\/li>\n<li>Daniel Berger: 1,180 points<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Fox: 1,157 points<\/li>\n<li>Taylor Pendris: 1,149 points<\/li>\n<li>Thomas Detrey: 1,142 points<\/li>\n<li>Kurt Kitayama: 1,121 points<\/li>\n<li>Denny McCarthu: 1, 120 points<\/li>\n<li>Brian Campbell: 1,119 points<\/li>\n<li>Matt Fitzpatrick: 1,103 points<\/li>\n<li>Similarly, 1,101 points<\/li>\n<li>Michael Kim: 1,099 points<\/li>\n<li>Xander Schuaffele: 1,099 points<\/li>\n<li>Jason Day: 1,092 points<\/li>\n<li>Harry Hall: 1,075 points<\/li>\n<li>Bud Cauley: 1,051 points<\/li>\n<li>Tom Hoge: 1, 042 points<\/li>\n<li>Ricky Fowler: 1,031 points<\/li>\n<li>Jonattan Vegas: 1,002 points<\/li>\n<li>JT Poston: 995 points<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"related-link\"><span class=\"exclude-from-newsgate\"><strong style=\"margin-right:3px\">PGA Tour: <\/strong>Click here for 2025 FedEx Cup Point rankings<\/span><\/p>\n<lit-timestamp class=\"column ten-column no-gutter spacer-small\" slot=\"timestamp\" publishdate=\"2025-08-13 10:22:30 +0000 UTC\" updatedate=\"2025-08-13 10:22:30 +0000 UTC\"><\/lit-timestamp><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Rose wins the FedEx St. Jude Championship in the playoffs Justin Rose birded four of his final five holes and defeated JJ Spaun by sinking a putt who won the third playoff hole.
