Jordan Spieth is in need of a strong performance if he is to keep his FedEx Cup Playoff hopes alive at this week’s St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee

Jordan Spieth is facing a tough fight to keep his PGA Tour season alive for another week as the FedEx Cup Playoffs kick off with the St. Jude Championship in Memphis on Thursday.

Spieth, a three-time major champion and the 2015 FedEx Cup winner, has had another difficult season as his decline continues. The former world No.1 has plummeted to 43 in the Official World Golf Ranking, with his last of 13 PGA Tour victories coming over two years ago.

This season, Spieth has missed seven cuts and only managed two top-10 finishes, increasing the gap between the 31 year old and the game’s top players. The Texan just scraped into the 70-man field for the FedEx Cup Playoffs, finishing the regular season in 63rd place.
