Things are getting serious.

This week the PGA Tour heads to Tennessee for the FedEx St Jude Championship, the first instalment in this year’s FedEx Cup.

It pits the 125 players who have performed best over the course of the PGA Tour season against each other at TPC Southwind.

Only the top 70 this week will continue to the BMW Championship, so for many, it’s do-or-die.

Previously the Northern Trust Open, Tony Finau won here last year, while other past winners include Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.

Here’s everything you need to know about a huge week on tour.

Course stats: Par 70, 7,244 yards

Alex Smalley (150/)

Smalley may be an outsider, but he’s shown good recent form at the Genesis Scottish Open and Wyndham Championship. The rookie is a solid each-way bet.
