The Northern Trust 2022 season is happening in Memphis, Tennessee, at TPC Southwind with the new title sponsor FedEx. It seems like August will be full of hope and anticipation for the golf fans while the champions swing their clubs.  

The FedExCup Playoff event The Northern Trust has a 36-hole cut, with its continuous changes in the business model. For The Northern Trust 2022, hole #1 is PAR 4,414 yards, as given on pgatour.com "The opening hole plays dogleg left uphill to a green with the course's landmark silo in the background."

Following it, hole #2 is of PAR 4,387 yards as "the hole plays dogleg right with an approach shot to a difficult green with bunkers in front and back" after a tight tee shot. Hole #3 is on PAR 5,570 yards with "the first par 5 hole plays downhill with a lake along with the right side of the fairway and green." 

Following holes #1, #2, and #3, hole #4 of PAR 3,194 yards with a good score. Also, the green is surrounded by bunkers, with a pond on the left. As for hole #5 with PAR 4,475 yards, a long, winding dogleg is on the right side by FedEx Corp's headquarters, and for hole #6, PAR 4,437 yards, there is an uphill approach shot on a dogleg left to an undulating green protected by hunkers on the right and left.

Jumping to hole #7 PAR 4,481 yards, there is a straight-away with a tight fairway with bunkers on the left to protect and a sight of a large tree catching the errant draws. Further, PAR 3,173 yards hole with a large run-off collection area surrounded by bunkers. The most challenging hole on golf course #9 PAR, 4,452 yards, has a long dogleg on the right, and the second shot the slightly downhill with a lake view in front of the green. The player can nail this with a good approaching position and a length. One can crack it past the large tree with an open shot on the right of the fairway. 

As the player moves forwards to the field, the game keeps on getting more complex, and the same goes for hole #10 PAR, 4,457 yards with a creek cutting the fairway in half. Hole #11 is at TPC Sawgrass's famous 17th island green (a smaller version), having a signature hole with a small pot bunker guarding the front edge. 

Then finally comes to hole #12 PAR, 4,384 yards having a tee to green on the right side and a dogleg with a running lake. Likewise, hole #13 PAR 4,466 yards with a well-guarded green and the widest fairway on the golf course. A signature of PAR 3 hole #14 of 3,181 yards has "an elevated tee with a full carry over water to a severely undulating green." Also known as one of the extreme complex holes for players. 

Most of the champs might be familiar with hole #15 PAR 4,382 yards with a "tight tee shot guarded by trees." Moving on to hole #16 PAR 5,538 yards, a must-watch uphill "tee shot with a slight dogleg left." The golfer who has made it this far has a better chance of hitting the green in two if they watch- out for the enormous complex bunker surrounding the sides and front of the extended steep area. 

PAR 4,489 yards of hole #17 is well-recognizable for being long and straight-away with a 150 yards creek and a large green surrounded by bunkers on the right and left. At long last, there is hole #18 PAR 4,447 yards, a closing hole with water along the left side, and the possibility of having more fireworks on the battle down.
