Originally established as the Westchester Classic in 1967, the FedEx St. Jude Championship is a PGA Tour professional golf event. Only the top 70 players on the FedEx Cup points list at the conclusion of the regular season are eligible to compete; formerly, the top 125 players were included. Since 2007, it has served as the inaugural FedEx Cup playoff event. Previously known as The Northern Trust, The Barclays, and the Buick Classic, the tournament changed its name due to sponsorship.
Up until 2007, the Westchester Classic was held at the Westchester Country Club in Harrison, New York. After that, it rotated around a number of courses in New Jersey and New York. The PGA Tour declared in 2018 that The Northern Trust, as it was then called, would alternate between the Boston and New York/New Jersey regions starting in 2019. In 2020, it was hosted at TPC Boston. FedEx became the new title sponsor of the tournament, which was renamed the FedEx St. Jude Championship and moved to TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.
Who won the PGA FedEx St. Jude Championship in 2024?
Hideki Matsuyama won the FedEx St. Jude Championship in 2024, marking his first-ever victory in the PGA Tour playoffs. At 17-under 263, he won by two shots, earning a massive victory in the first leg of the playoffs. Finishing with a one-stroke lead, the Olympic bronze medalist made a crucial birdie to win the championship.
Tied for second place with a 15-under total were Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland. Late in the last round, Hovland had a small lead, but the Norwegians' advantage was brief. Along with his share of $3.6 million of the $20 million purse, Matusyama took home 2,000 FedEx Cup points.
Who won the PGA FedEx St. Jude Championship in 2023?
Lucas Glover won the FedEx St. Jude Championship in 2023. Glover triumphed at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, to capture his fifth PGA Tour title. The $3,600,000 winner's share of the $20,000,000 purse was awarded to him.
Glover defeated Patrick Cantlay in a playoff to win the tournament after both players finished regulation at 15-under 265. Cantlay teed off first in the playoff on the par-4 18th hole and found the water. On his third attempt, he found the green, putting himself in position to beat Glover's birdie putt by a few inches on the same line.
Glover made a simple par, and then Cantlay's putt missed just to the right of the hole to give Glover a win. Finishing tied for third place were Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood.
