Rose and Spaun battled through three sudden-death holes before the first leg of the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs was settled

It’s not about the money, really, any more for Justin Rose. The 45-year-old Englishman is all about winning titles these days, largely to round out a résumé that many already consider Hall of Fame worthy and prove that golfers can play at an elite level well into their 40s.

Justin Rose birdied four consecutive holes late in the final round and then made two more birdies in sudden death en route to winning the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Rose rallied to tie J.J. Spaun in regulation — as Tommy Fleetwood faded over the final three holes — and then beat Spaun on the third playoff hole.
