The FedEx St. Jude Championship serves as the opening stage of the 2026 FedExCup Playoffs, bringing the PGA TOUR’s top 70 players to TPC Southwind in Memphis. As the first stop in the three‑event playoff series, every shot carries major weight, with players battling to advance to the BMW Championship and ultimately the TOUR Championship. The event blends elite competition with a fan‑first experience, making it one of the most anticipated weeks on the golf calendar.
This year’s tournament introduces an upgraded ticketing model called Grounds+, giving all fans access to complimentary food and non‑alcoholic beverages throughout the course. Premium hospitality options, including club spaces and elevated viewing decks, offer enhanced comfort and close‑up vantage points of the action. The “Ultimate Fan Experience” adds interactive elements, merchandise opportunities, and behind‑the‑scenes access that deepen the connection between spectators and the sport.
Community impact remains at the heart of the championship. Through partnerships like U.S. Steel’s Big River Steel, military members and veterans receive complimentary grounds tickets as part of the tournament’s long‑standing commitment to honoring service. The event also supports the Positively Memphis Community Fund, reinforcing its role as a major philanthropic driver in the region. The championship continues to build on decades of charitable tradition tied to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Memphis itself becomes part of the experience, offering visitors a vibrant mix of culture, food, and entertainment surrounding tournament week. Fans can explore the city’s music heritage, enjoy local dining, and take part in special events connected to the championship. With world‑class golf, elevated hospitality, and a deep community mission, the FedEx St. Jude Championship stands as a signature moment in both the FedExCup Playoffs and the city of Memphis each August.
