Memphis golf tournament losing premier PGA Tour status in 2028

Memphis' TPC Southwind will lose its premier PGA Tour status after the 2027 FedEx St. Jude Championship, as the venue has not been included in the PGA Tour's new top-tier Championship Series set to launch in 2028. TPC Southwind has hosted professional golf in Memphis since 1989 and held signature event-site status since 2019. It remains unclear whether Memphis will be incorporated into the lower-tiered Challenger Series, though PGA Tour officials confirmed the news on August 5 and stated Memphis remains a priority market.
