Number of volunteer hours — 25,000. Number of TV viewers — 18.7 million. Cumulative amount of money raised for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — more than $35 million. A Memphis tradition that dates back 60 years, the FedEx St. Jude Classic (FSJC) has arrived... “To have PGA Tour golf in Memphis for 60 years is something that definitely should be celebrated,” said Darrell Smith, tournament director for the FedEx St. Jude Classic. “A lot of communities out there would really like to have a professional golf event, and for us to have it for 60 years, and the way it is just woven into our community from a volunteer standpoint … it seems like every person you meet in Memphis has a story regarding the PGA Tour golf event in Memphis. It is unique and it is something that we really do treasure.”
