El FedEx St. Jude Classic fue un torneo de golf profesional celebrado en Memphis, Tennessee como un evento regular del PGA Tour . El torneo se llevó a cabo anualmente desde 1958 hasta 2018, y se jugó en junio en TPC Southwind (desde 1989 ).
En 2019, FedEx asumió el patrocinio del WGC Invitational y trasladó el torneo a Memphis a finales de julio. El evento WGC reubicado continúa la relación caritativa con St. Jude Children's Research Hospital . El nuevo nombre para el evento reubicado es WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational [4] [5]
Historia [ editar ]
El torneo debutó hace 63 años en mayo de 1958 como el Memphis Open y se jugó anualmente en Colonial Country Club en Memphis hasta 1971 , luego en la nueva casa del club en Córdoba hasta 1988 . El difunto Vernon Bell, un restaurador de Memphis, cofundó el torneo y se desempeñó como presidente general del torneo durante 22 años. [6] También es el padre del fallecido Chris Bell . [7]
San Judas [ editar ]
En 1969, el animador Danny Thomas (1912-1991) acordó prestar su nombre al torneo a cambio de que su St. Jude Children's Research Hospital se convirtiera en la organización benéfica del torneo. En consecuencia, el torneo cambió su nombre al año siguiente a Danny Thomas Memphis Classic .
En 1977 , el presidente Gerald Ford , que había dejado el cargo en enero, hizo un hoyo en uno durante el pro-am de celebridades del torneo mientras jugaba con Thomas y Ben Crenshaw . [8] [9] Dos días después, Al Geiberger logró un récord del PGA Tour de 59 (-13) en la segunda ronda con once birdies y un águila. [10] [11] Necesitaba un rally el domingo para ganar por tres golpes en 273 (-15). [12]
Federal Express [ editar ]
En 1986 , el mensajero Federal Express con sede en Memphis se convirtió en el patrocinador principal. Durante los primeros tres años de su patrocinio, FedEx aumentó la bolsa un dólar por cada paquete que enviaron el viernes del torneo. [13] [14] [15] Las carteras pasaron de $ 500,000 a $ 605,912 en 1986, de $ 600,000 a $ 724,043 en 1987 y de $ 750,000 a $ 953,842 en 1988.
El Grupo Financiero Stanford asumió como patrocinador principal del torneo en 2007 , y fue renombrado Stanford St. Jude Championship . En 2009 , el torneo cambió su nombre a St. Jude Classic , [16] tras las acusaciones de que Stanford Financial Group era un esquema Ponzi . FedEx regresó como patrocinador principal en 2011 . [17]
TPC Southwind [ editar ]
La última edición del evento en Colonial Country Club en Córdoba fue hace 33 años en 1988 . Se mudó a su ubicación actual en TPC Southwind en Memphis en 1989.
La bolsa en 2018 fue de $ 6.6 millones, con una participación del ganador de $ 1.188 millones.
