Course Overview

• TPC Southwind
• Memphis, Tenn.
• Par 70
• 7,243 Yards
• Zoysia Fairways
• Bermuda Greens

TPC Southwind presents a formidable challenge with its tight fairways, deep Bermuda rough and well-guarded small greens. The course’s 70 bunkers and water hazards affecting about 11 holes add to its difficulty. The green complexes are typically faster than average, requiring a deft touch on the Bermuda putting surfaces. While bombers may have an advantage here, their success hinges on accuracy off the tee and solid approach play. Players must excel in all aspects of the game; this is not a course where one can rely on a single strength.

Given the projected hot, humid and breezy conditions, the air will be heavy. There are potential thunderstorms moving into the weekend, making endurance and adaptability key.

The projected winning score for this PGA tournament is -15. Thanks to the number of players, this is a no-cut event, and everyone will move forward to the weekend. Past winners of the FedEx St. Jude Championship include Lucas Glover (2023), Will Zalatoris (2022) and Tony Finau (2021).
