About The St. Jude Classic

Looking back to the past and collecting some history facts, one can recollect that the tournament was founded in 1958 and was first called the Memphis Open. It was held every year at Colonial Country Club in Cordova until 1989. It is amazing that in 1969, a famous actor Danny Thomas allowed to lend his own name to the event provided that the tournament would become a donation to St. Jude Hospital. So, a year later the name of the tournament was changed to the Danny Thomas Classic. In 1977, Al Geiberger managed to shoot a record 59 (13-under-par) round. And only in 1989, the tournament moved to the TPC, its present location at Southwind in Memphis.

In 2006 Jeff Maggert became the winner of the St. Jude Classic. Jeff is a famous American golfer who attended Texas A&M University and in 1986 turned a professional golfer.
