The St. Jude Tournament, the first FedEx playoff tournament, is due to begin soon. The top 70 PGA Tour golfers will demonstrate their abilities at the Memphis Golf Club. However, Justin Thomas has failed to get an entry into the tournament which comes as shocking news for the fan. This is because this is the very first time in eight years that Thomas would not play in FedEx playoff events.
Despite trying his best at the Wyndham Championship, on the 18th hole, he missed hitting the pin on a chip shot, which led him to rank 71st on the FedEx Cup standing. Nevertheless, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, and others have already begun practicing for the $75M FedEx Showdown’s first event: the St. Jude tournament.

Fans miss JT and react to the practice round preps
In no time, golf fans started commenting on the Twitter video. While some fans talked about the competition, a bunch of them missed Justin Thomas. These remarks include:
One fan wondered about the best swing,
Wonder who has the best swing there

Another fan talked about the playoff events,
Why are yanks so fascinated with the idea of playoff’s. season long competition is the true merit of who is the best. Not some half baked rigged system where not all events gain the same points. Make all events same points and max fields and then see who has the most points.

While two users were missing JT,
Where’s JT??
— cookie (@mattcookefan) August 7, 2023
Looking forward to it, but just a little sad JT and Adam Scott just missed the cut. They fought hard, but neither should have had too. Goes to show…golf can be a bitch.
