The 2019 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational was a professional golf tournament held July 25–28 at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. It was the 21st WGC Invitational tournament, and the third of the World Golf Championships events in 2019. It was the first time the event had been held in Tennessee, having previously been based at Firestone Country Club in Ohio.

World number one, Brooks Koepka, completed a three-stroke victory over Webb Simpson to win his first World Golf Championship event. Koepka had begun the final day one shot behind Rory McIlroy, who led the field. With the win, Koepka earned more PGA Tour regular season FedEx Cup points than any other player and won first-place prize of $2 million in the Wyndham Rewards Top 10.[1]
