FedEx St. Jude Classic 2012: TV Schedule, Tee Times, Parings For Thursday

The weekend between the 2012 Memorial and the 2012 U.S. Open is not the biggest of the year on the PGA Tour by any stretch, but it is a chance to get in one last tune-up against PGA competition. It’s the last stop before the year’s second major championship and will draw many players of note to the 2012 FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis.

The tournament’s top group for the first two days is one that pairs defending U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy with fellow major champions Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington. A host of other major champions, like David Toms and Y.E. Yang, will also be teeing off at the TPC Southwind course.

TV coverage of the 2012 FedEx St. Jude Classic will be carried live on The Golf Channel from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and highlights will be aired from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Thursday.
