THE HISTORY
The WGC Invitational has changed to a new title sponsor for 2019 onwards with FedEx as the new promotor having previously being with Bridgestone since 2006. This has resulted in the St. Jude Classic – a regular event on the PGA Tour since 1989 - being taken over as the new WGC host being played around the same venue, TPC Southwind.
TPC Southwind is a relatively long par 70 but with holes that are laid out in front of the player with no blind plays, hidden hazards or overly dangerous holes, it is a course that all styles can perform well around which should make for an exciting week.
Dustin Johnson has won twice on this layout since 2012 with Daniel Berger claiming back-to-back titles in 2016 and 2017. With an average winning total of 13 under, scoring has varied with last year's winner shooting the lowest winning total since 2003 – a score that has only been bettered on three other occasions – while in 2012 the same player won with one of the highest scores in the tournament’s history.
