The FedEx St. Jude Championship, a nearly 60-year-old golf event, is the first of the three annual events played to determine the FedEx Cup champion. Previously known as The Northern Trust, The Barclays, and the Buick Classic, the tournament changed its name due to sponsorship; it has been called with the prefix FedEx since 1986.
The 2024 event will be held at Tennessee's TPC Southwind from August 15 to 18. Only the top 70 players on the FedEx Cup points list at the conclusion of the regular season are eligible to compete; previously, the top 125 players were included. Since 2007, the FedEx St. Jude Championship has served as the inaugural FedEx Cup playoff event.
