FedEx St. Jude Classic, Golf tournament in Memphis
The FedEx St. Jude Classic is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour held annually in Memphis, Tennessee at TPC Southwind. The event has been played at this venue since 1989 and draws competitors from across the professional golf circuit.
The tournament was established in 1958 and originally played at different times before moving to early June. This calendar adjustment helped secure its position on the professional golf calendar.
The tournament supports St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through its proceeds, and this partnership shapes how the event is experienced by both players and spectators. Visitors notice how the course becomes a space dedicated to fundraising for pediatric medical research.
As one of the smaller PGA Tour events, spectators typically have closer access to professional golfers than at major tournaments. This scale makes it easier for fans to move around the course and interact with the sport.
FedEx has sponsored the tournament since 1986, making it one of the longest-running corporate partnerships in PGA Tour history. This decades-long relationship has shaped how the event is known and operated.
