2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship Thursday play delayed due to inclement weather: Updated tee times explored

The start of the first round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship has been affected by stormy weather, which has led to the delay of the tee times by two hours.

The first round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship was set to begin at 9:15 am EST on Thursday, August 10, at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. However, the weather in the morning was not favorable enough to begin the first round at the said time due to the heavy storms.

PGA Tour Communications gave details about the updated tee times on Twitter. The PGA Tour wrote:

"Starting times for the first round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship have been pushed back due to inclement weather. First-round tee times will be approx. 10:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CT in threesomes off of two tees. Updated tee times to follow."

The weather hasn't been favorable so far, with the practice round getting affected by the downpour and the thunderstorm. The Pro-Am on Wednesday was also affected by the storms.

The rain probability on Thursday is 60%, with temperatures going as high as 87 °F. The wind will blow from the southwest to the west-northwest at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph.

The PGA Tour has also informed fans that, due to the wet conditions, the preferred lies will be applied for the first round.
