Scheffler, the FedEx Cup points leader, used a final-round 67 to finish in a tie for third with Fleetwood at 15-under. Fleetwood once again missed out on his first PGA Tour title. A bogey on the 17th hole cost him a spot alongside Rose and Spaun in the playoff.

Justin Rose birdied four consecutive holes late in the final round and then made two more birdies in sudden death en route to winning the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Rose rallied to tie J.J. Spaun in regulation — as Tommy Fleetwood faded over the final three holes — and then beat Spaun on the third playoff hole.
