Collin Morikawa completed the FedEx St. Jude Championship tied for 22nd place at 6-under 274, extending his winless streak to 17 starts in the 2025 PGA Tour season. Despite two runner-up finishes this year, the two-time major champion has yet to secure a victory, leaving him visibly frustrated after his latest event. On Instagram, he shared a brief but telling caption: “Survive and Advance.”
Morikawa showed promise early in the tournament at TPC Southwind, posting a 4-under 66 in the first round with five birdies and a single bogey on the 18th hole. He followed that with a strong, bogey-free 5-under 65 on Friday, featuring three birdies and an eagle on the 9th. However, his momentum faltered on Saturday, as he recorded two birdies, two bogeys, and a double bogey for a 2-over 72. The final round saw further struggles with two birdies countered by three bogeys, ending with a 1-over 71.
Currently ranked sixth in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), Morikawa remains 17th in the FedExCup standings with 1,573 points, well inside the top 50. His secure position guarantees participation in the upcoming BMW Championship and all 2026 Signature Events, preserving key opportunities despite the recent lack of a win.
