FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025: An Ultimate Legacy in Action

The FedEx St. Jude Championship returns in 2025 with more than just high-stakes golf—it brings a rich history, world-class athletes, and a premium spectator atmosphere to Memphis, Tennessee. As the opening event of the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Playoffs, this tournament has evolved into a marquee occasion that continues to draw the attention of golf’s most dedicated fans and most refined guests alike.

A History Rooted in Purpose and Prestige

The origins of the tournament stretch back to 1967 when it began as the Westchester Classic in New York. Over the decades, it changed names and locations, but its heart found a permanent home in Memphis, aligning with the city’s charm and deep Southern character.

What makes this tournament more than just a competition is its long-standing relationship with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Since 1970, the event has been a philanthropic powerhouse, raising tens of millions for pediatric research and treatment. It’s one of the rare sporting events that seamlessly blends luxury, purpose, and world-class sport.

In 2022, the tournament transitioned into the FedEx St. Jude Championship, becoming the first event of the FedExCup Playoffs. This shift not only elevated its competitive stature but also reaffirmed Memphis as a destination for elite golf.

Welcome to TPC Southwind

The 2025 edition of the FedEx St. Jude Championship is set for August 7–10 at TPC Southwind, a private course known for its challenging layout and signature holes. This par-70 course stretches over 7,200 yards and demands precision from every player. Its narrow fairways, well-placed bunkers, and numerous water hazards make it a true test for even the most seasoned pros.

TPC Southwind’s most iconic feature is its island-green 11th hole, a strategic challenge that has seen plenty of drama over the years. The venue combines the atmosphere of a championship arena with the intimacy that only a premium golf setting can provide.
