PGA Tour

TPC Southwind was the venue for the tour's annual FedEx St. Jude Classic, formerly the Memphis Open, for three decades (1989–2018). The event was previously played at Colonial Country Club in Cordova. TPC Southwind was renovated following the 2004 event.[2]

In 2019, FedEx took over sponsorship of the WGC Invitational and relocated it to Memphis, played at TPC Southwind in late July. The WGC event continued the charitable relationship with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and was renamed WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.[3][4] For the 2022 season, the WGC Invitational was discontinued, and the first FedEx Cup playoff event was relocated to TPC Southwind with FedEx as the new title sponsor and became the FedEx St. Jude Championship, played in mid-August.[5]
