The 2022 FedEx St Jude Championship marks the beginning of this season’s PGA Tour playoffs, and is the first of three major tournaments that will serve to conclude this year’s sporting year on the world’s most important golf circuit.
There will be 125 top-ranked FedEx golfers at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, for this tournament, which will be played between August 11 and 14 in what will be the fifty-sixth edition of the competition, which was first held in 1967.
Furthermore, it is vital to note that this tournament will be played outside of the New York/New Jersey/Boston area for the first time since it began. This isn’t the only change for 2022, since the money benefits have also changed, so JefeBet will tell you how the prizes have been modified.
Updated Purse and Prize Money Breakdown for the FedEx St Jude Championship running from August 11-14, 2022
The 2022 FedEx St Jude Championship is one of the many tournaments of the PGA Tour that has undergone economic adjustments for the better in this 2021-22. This edition’s changes are of the most significant in the whole season, but they appropriately reward those golfers who get to participate after a hard golf campaign around the world.
This time around, the 2022 FedEx St Jude Championship will award a total of $15 million in prize money, which is a significant increase of 57.89% ($5.5 million) over the $9.5 million that were handed out at the competition during 2021. This is the most drastic change the tournament has undergone from one year to the next, with the previous largest change being a mere $1.5 million between 2002 and 2003, when it was played under the “Buick Classic” name.
It will also be the first increase in the prize purse of the FedEx St Jude Championship from 2020, which means that in 2022, the winner of the tournament will have a better financial reward. In 2020 and 2021, the champion earned $1.71 million, while their award will be around $2.7 million in 2022 – an increase of 57.89% ($990.000).
