FedEx St. Jude Classic: TV, Tee Times, Leaderboard And More

MEMPHIS, TN — The FedEx St. Jude Classic began its final year as PGA Tour event Thursday at the TPC Southwinds before it become part of the World Golf Championship in 2019.

The tournament, best known for its history of eye-popping low scores - and a famous hole-in-one in its pro-am by Gerald Ford in 1977 - when it was still held at the Colonial Country Club, will move from June to August next year and become part of the World Golf Championship slate, replacing Akron’s WGC Bridgestone Invitational.

Traditionally held the final week before the U.S. Open, it often features an odd field of grinders, non-Open qualifiers and guys, like Phil Mickelson, who eschew the usual practice of taking a week off before a Major.

In addition to Mickelson, this year’s event includes Daniel Berger, winner of the last two St. Jude’s; Dustin Johnson and Nashville native Brandt Snedeker.

TV coverage is from 4 to 7 p.m. Eastern Thursday and Friday on the Golf Channel and from 1 to 2:45 p.m. Eastern Saturday and Sunday on the Golf Channel, switching to CBS from 3 to 6 p.m. Eastern both days.
