Justin Rose Secures Dramatic Playoff Victory at FedEx St. Jude Championship
Justin Rose secured his 12th PGA TOUR title with a dramatic playoff victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, edging out J.J. Spaun after three intense playoff holes. Rose and Spaun both finished regulation play at 16-under-par, while fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, who led by a stroke entering the final round, once again fell short of claiming his first PGA TOUR win.

This triumph marks Rose’s first tournament win in 2025, following a near-miss at the Masters earlier in the year. At Augusta, Rose finished runner-up to Rory McIlroy in a sudden-death playoff, with McIlroy finally completing the career Grand Slam and becoming only the sixth golfer in history to capture the Masters, PGA Championship, Open Championship, and U.S. Open titles. Rose collected $2.27 million for his runner-up finish at the Masters, adding to his considerable career earnings, which now contribute to an estimated net worth of $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Rose’s consistency over his career is highlighted by his 2013 U.S. Open victory and 24 other professional titles across the PGA TOUR and European Tour. Off the course, Rose and his wife Kate, a former international gymnast, have been married since 2006 and are active philanthropists through the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation, which supports disadvantaged children in Florida. Rose often honors his wife by playing with number 99 golf balls, a nod to her lucky number.

The Rose family was also the subject of headlines during the Masters when Kate Rose was seen embracing McIlroy after his win, a moment that briefly sparked speculation before being clarified as a show of sportsmanship. Rose later congratulated McIlroy publicly on social media, displaying his trademark class and camaraderie within the game.
