Through June 10
The FedEx St. Jude Classic is a professional golf tournament in its 60th year as a regular event on the PGA Tour. Held annually since 1958, TPC Southwind has been its home since 1989. In 1969, entertainer Danny Thomas agreed to lend his name to the tournament in exchange for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital becoming the tournament's charity. Played annually at Colonial Country Club through 1971 and Cordova through 1988. Federal Express became the title sponsor in 1986.
In 2019, the St. Jude event will become one of the World Golf Championships and will move from June to August, replacing the current WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. The event's new name will be the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.
This weekend enjoy the rich history of sportsmanship and philanthropy that is uniquely Memphis.
