Tournament Overview

The final in a series of four World Golf Championships (WGC) tournaments played annually on the

PGA TOUR schedule, the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational will deliver an exhilarating world-class

experience while featuring the top players in the world.

Premier Venue

TPC Southwind was designed by noted architect Ron Prichard, with PGA TOUR players Hubert

Green and Fuzzy Zoeller serving as consultants. The golf course features undulating zoysia

fairways, champion Bermuda greens and numerous lakes, streams and ponds. Adding to the

charm of the golf course are two grain silos and a windmill, remnants of the dairy farm once locat-

ed on the site.

Powerful Partnership: FedEx

FedEx Corp. (NYSE:FDX) provides customers and businesses worldwide with a broad portfolio of

transportation, e-commerce and business services. With annual revenues of $64 billion, the

company offers integrated business applications through operating companies competing

collectively and managed collaboratively, under the respected FedEx brand. Consistently ranked

among the world’s most admired and trusted employers, FedEx inspires its more than 425,000 team

members to remain “absolutely positively” focused on safety, the highest ethical and professional

standards and the needs of their customers and communities.

Community Impact

Supporting the PGA TOUR’s charitable mission of giving back to the communities where

tournaments are played, proceeds from the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational will benefit St. Jude

Children’s Research Hospital.

Since 1970, professional golf tournaments in Memphis have raised over $43 million for St. Jude

Children’s Research Hospital.
