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

Justin Rose earned his 12th career victory on the PGA Tour in thrilling fashion Sunday, dispatching reigning U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun in a three-hole playoff to capture the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

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.
