The PGA Tour returns this week after taking a one-week hiatus so players could participate in the Tokyo Olympics. Just 78 golfers are headed to Memphis this week for the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational—a star-studded no-cut event at TPC Southwind—which has played host to a PGA Tour event every year since 1989. The shift from a typical Tour stop to WGC format is subtle, but it has improved the quality of the field over the past two iterations. The only noteworthy golfer not in Memphis this week is Jon Rahm, who was forced to withdraw from the Olympics after testing positive for COVID-19 for roughly the 43rd time this season. Don't quote me on that, but I think it's close.
