The tournament is the first event in the FedEx Cup playoffs, and after this tournament, the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship will take place.

The FedEx St. Jude Championship will take place from August 7 to 10 at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, flaunting a purse of $20 million. The course was designed by Ron Prichard, and it was a par-70, 7,244-yard course to host championships. During the course design, Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller served as consultants.

The course featured zoysia fairways, champion Bermuda greens, several water bodies, and more. The most notable hole at the course was the par-3 hole 11, which was the smaller version of the 17th at TPC Sawgrass.
