The event has delivered dramatic finishes and career-defining moments for the world’s best golfers after joining the FedEx Cup Playoff rotation in 2019. Tony Finau (2022), Lucas Glover (2023), and Rory McIlroy (2024) have all won at this event’s course that’s known for its strategic bunkering, water hazards, and narrow fairways.
FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025 Location

The 2025 St. Jude Classic Golf will take place at TPC Southwind, located in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. This par 70 course has 94 bunkers and 10 water hazards (lakes, streams, ponds). The full conversion of Zeon Zoysia grass was completed before 2025. Greens are champion Bermuda with a fast and precise putting surface. Hole 14 (Par 3) is a Signature hole, requiring an elevated tee shot over water. Hole 18 (Par 4, dogleg left) is a tricky finishing signature hole. Water and bunkers are guarding the left side.
August is hot and humid in Tennessee, and there might be rain or thunderstorms in the afternoon. So, wear moisture-wicking polo shirts in light colors that reflect heat. Choose stretch shorts or lightweight trousers with a UV-protective cap or hat. Breathable golf gloves are a must for grip and glare. Carry a lightweight and packable rain jacket for sudden showers.

FedEx St. Jude Championship 2025 Playoffs

The FedEx 2025 golf tournament is the first event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the ultimate battleground for the season’s top golfers. The FedEx playoffs consist of three tournaments to filter the best and crown the Cup Champion. This opening leg features only the top 70 players from the FedEx Cup standings. It’s no-cut, so every golfer plays all 72 holes. The winner gets 2,000 FedEx Cup points, which is four times the points of a regular PGA TOUR event, so it’s a must to qualify for the next playoff stages.
-
The first stage is the FedEx St. Jude Championship with the top 70 players in a 72-hole stroke-play event with no cut. After this tournament, only the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings advance to the second stage.
-
The second stage is the BMW Championship, taking place at Caves Valley Golf Club from August 14, 2025 to August 17, 2025. This event has the top 50 qualifiers in a 72-hole no-cut format, with the winner getting 2,000 points. After the BMW Championship, the field is cut to the top 30 players who will play for the ultimate title at the Tour Championship.
-
The final stage is the Tour Championship, taking place at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia from August 21, 2025 to August 24, 2025. The top 30 players will play for the FedEx Cup. Starting in 2025, the starting strokes format has been eliminated, so everyone starts at even par, and the player with the lowest total score after four rounds will be the FedEx Cup Champion.
The points system is the backbone of the playoffs, determining who moves on and who wins the Cup. A regular PGA TOUR event gives 500 points to the winner, while playoff events like St. Jude and BMW Championship give 2,000 points to the winner, four times as many. Points carry over from stage to stage, and the leaderboard resets after each leg.
