First Horizon Bank Steps Up for 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship

In a significant move for both the financial and sports communities, First Horizon Bank has been appointed as the Official Financial Services sponsor for the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship. Scheduled to take place from August 6-10, 2025, at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, this partnership signifies a robust commitment to community engagement and showcases the synergy between local businesses and national sporting events.

A Partnership Rooted in Community Engagement

Robert Miller, Sales Director of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, expressed enthusiasm over welcoming First Horizon Bank, noting their alignment with the championship's mission of making meaningful impacts in Memphis, often referred to as the Bluff City. He stated, "As a Memphis-based company, First Horizon Bank's commitment to investing and engaging in our community aligns perfectly with our mission of creating meaningful impact in the Bluff City."

The financial institution will also play a pivotal role in the tournament's social events, such as the Pairings Party and the Championship Pro-Am, both set for August 6. This event not only serves as a key networking opportunity but also enhances the overall experience for participants and attendees.

First Horizon Bank: Legacy of Excellence

First Horizon Bank, which has a storied history spanning 161 years, operates over 400 branches across the southeastern United States. Bo Allen, the Midsouth Regional President of First Horizon Bank, emphasized the value of this sponsorship, stating, "Opportunities like this to collaborate with community leaders are an easy 'yes.' Partnering with these world-class organizations showcases our shared commitment to excellence and deepens our connection across the region."

The Significance of the FedEx St. Jude Championship

The FedEx St. Jude Championship is notable as the first leg of the FedExCup Playoffs, culminating a season-long competition that highlights top golf talent. The event invites the top 70 players from the FedExCup Playoffs standings and stands as an essential date in the PGA TOUR calendar. This year’s tournament marks the fourth consecutive year Memphis has hosted this prestigious playoff event.

Memphis has always been a significant player in the sports industry, boasting a rich history with the PGA TOUR since 1958. The tournament has raised over $80 million for its primary beneficiary, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This charity ensures that families receiving treatment for children do not face any financial burden, allowing them to focus solely on recovery.

First Horizon’s Role in Elevating Community Impact

Through this sponsorship, First Horizon not only supports a significant sporting event but also reinforces its role as a community leader filled with resources and a commitment to social responsibility. The bank provides a range of services that span commercial to consumer banking, asset management, and financial planning, establishing a unique position that combines the strengths of both large and small banking services.

As the tournament approaches, anticipation builds among participants, fans, and local businesses alike. The collaboration between First Horizon Bank and the FedEx St. Jude Championship exemplifies how local businesses can play a vital role in enhancing community events and creating a meaningful legacy for future generations.

As the player roster solidifies and preparations begin for the weeklong celebration of golf and charity, it is clear that First Horizon Bank is more than just a financial services provider; it is a dedicated community partner shaping the future of both Memphis and professional golf.
