Why It's Important?
Fleetwood's pursuit of his first PGA Tour victory is noteworthy, as he has 42 career top-10 finishes without a win, the most by any player in the last four decades. A victory would mark a significant milestone in his career. The tournament also impacts the FedEx Cup standings, with players like Rickie Fowler and Bud Cauley vying for top 50 positions to secure entry into next season's signature events. The outcome could influence player rankings and future tournament qualifications.
What's Next?
The final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship will determine Fleetwood's chance to secure his first PGA Tour win. Following this event, the BMW Championship will commence on August 14 at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland, featuring the top 50 players. The TOUR Championship is scheduled for August 21-24, concluding the season's major events.
