Rahm dominated the 2024 season, finishing first in individual points total prize money and tied for the most event victories with two.

14 Latine-Owned Brands Serving Tenniscore
The U.S. Open is a few weeks away, meaning there's still some time to put together some seasonal looks. Whether you're headed to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York or hosting a watch party at home, the vibe is preppy — and no, not Gen Z's hoodie-and-jeans interpretation (sorry, friends!). We mean Y2K prep: polos, pleats, tennis skirts, and tennis bracelets. Preppy and tennis have long been linked, and tenniscore brings that classic, sporty aesthetic back with a feminine spirit to it all. You've probably seen it all over Pinterest and reimagined by some of your fave celebs and content creators — from Kali Uchis ' mami chula looks to Sarita Cuervo 's sporty-cute fits — everyone seems to want to look court-ready without breaking a sweat. Tenniscore works because it's effortlessly chic. It's easy to wear, versatile, and feminine and it's comfortable and appropriate whether courtside or curbside.

FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025: Odds, favorites and picks for playoff opener
The Golf Today crew have a roundtable discussion regarding the FedExCup playoffs, Scottie Scheffler's Player of the Year candidacy, and more. The FedEx St. Jude Championship features the top 70 players in the FedExCup standings. Of course, one man stands above the rest: Scottie Scheffler. He's is the clear betting favorite at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. But who's next? The odds are below — but not before betting expert Brad Thomas offers up what he likes most this week: Scottie Scheffler, to finish top 5: -165 Backing the best player in the world to finish inside the top five is never a bad option. Especially when that player is Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler has eight top-five finishes this year, including four wins. What's great about Scheffler is that the higher the stakes, the better he performs. He won The Open and PGA Championship and finished fourth at the Masters and T-7 at the U.S. Open. He also has a win and three top-six finishes in the signature events. As if Scheffler's brilliance in majors and signature events wasn't enough, TPC Southwind should be a perfect fit for the world No.1. At the St. Jude Championship, gaining big from tee-to-green has the highest correlation to success. Last season, Hideki Matsuyama gained 4.6 strokes tee-to-green on his way to winning, and the season prior, Lucas Glover gained 6.5 strokes tee-to-green in his win. Scheffler leads the PGA Tour in SG: T2G by almost a full shot. He's averaging 2.28 strokes tee-to-green per round, and Collin Morikawa is in second with 1.32 strokes gained. After finishing fourth here last season and the incredible run he's had, you can expect Scheffler to be in contention once again this week. FedEx St. Jude Championship odds (as of Tuesday, courtesy DraftKings Sportsbook) Scottie Scheffler: +280 Xander Schauffele: +1800 Tommy Fleetwood: +2200 Justin Thomas: +2500 Matt Fitzpatrick: +2800 Ludvig Åberg: +3000 Russell Henley: +3000 Collin Morikawa: +3000 Ben Griffin: +3500 Aaron Rai: +3500 Viktor Hovland: +3500 Hideki Matsuyama: +3500 Sepp Straka: +3500 Patrick Cantlay: +3500 Cameron Young: +4000 Keegan Bradley: +4000 Sam Burns: +4000 Corey Conners: +4000
