The St. Jude offers a rough and sunny course. The course gives no rest to the weary PGA players, presenting itself in myriad difficult and hellacious holes, most of which seem to be played over par throughout, even by the best of golfers. The degree of trickiness on holes like 14, 17 and 18 really must be seen! The course easily has some holes that rate in the top 100 most difficult on the PGA tour.
St. Jude Classic is a supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, so much so that it changed its name. The event has raised more than $21 million for the hospital. Funds raised by the St. Jude Classic help ensure that St. Jude continues research that, often, has proven itself very responsible to contributing to the survival of a very sick child. Most importantly, the tournament has helped say yes to helping the poor. "St. Jude's thanks the PGA for its help," said a recent hospital spokesperson. "Our continuation of our promise to ensure that no child is ever turned away because of a family's inability to pay owes much to this great golf Open."
Memphis, Tennessee and its thin blue & white blazer are the popular images that come to mind when one imagines the St. Jude Classic. Part of the PGA's regular tour and having an over one million dollars winner's purse, this tournament is known for its serious play and even an occasional surprise hole-in-one'”by a President of the United States!
The St. Jude Classic began in 1958 with the name Memphis Open (even though many of the first tournaments were played in Cordova, Tennessee). Actor Danny Thomas lent his name to the struggling tournament in its early development on the condition that St. Jude's Research Hospital would be named the Official Tournament Charity permanently. Not too long after that, President Gerald Ford dropped a hole-in-one during the Open! And the St. Jude's has been getting steadily more popular and more important to the PGA ever since. Also very popular is the seersucker jacket that goes to the tournament champ each year.
