FedEx St. Jude Championship: Golf, Crowds, and a Cause

Each summer, Memphis becomes the stage for one of golf’s premier events — the PGA TOUR FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind. This year was no exception, bringing together world-class athletes, passionate fans, and a community united around an incredible cause.

The week was filled with moments that defined why this tournament stands out. From the precision and intensity on the greens to the energy of the crowds that followed every shot, the atmosphere was electric. Beyond the competition, there were plenty of surprises too — including a celebrity arrival that turned heads. (Yes, I even managed to catch a shot of Katt Williams making his way in!)

What makes this tournament special isn’t just the golf; it’s the purpose behind it. With FedEx, the PGA TOUR, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital working together, every swing and every cheer contributes to a mission far bigger than the game itself. It’s a reminder of how sports can bring people together, not just for entertainment, but for hope.

As a photographer, capturing the event means more than documenting a tournament — it’s about telling the story of a city that rallies around its traditions, its heroes, and its causes. Memphis shows up, and it shows out.
