Tour championship, see golf’s biggest finish in atlanta.

This event may have been changed due to COVID-19 outbreak precautions. Please check official event and venue websites to confirm the status.

When:  August 25 – 28, 2022 Where:  East Lake Golf Club

Golf’s biggest finish comes to  East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta  this August. The TOUR Championship is the event that crowns the FedEx Cup champion, bringing 30 of the PGA TOUR’s best golfers to Atlanta. Head out to East Lake Golf Club for top-notch golf, family-friendly activities and a chance to watch golf history in the making.

Reasons to go to the PGA Tour Championship in Atlanta

• Golf’s biggest finish:  PGA TOUR players compete all season to earn a spot to play at East Lake Golf Club and only the top 30 will be here. With the title of FedEx Cup Champion and a $10 million purse on the line, players will bring their A-game. You’ll have a rope-side seat, exciting tee shots, crowd-roaring putts and shots from the fairway from the PGA TOUR’s best you didn’t believe were possible – all in your backyard.
• Not just great golf:  Sure we have great golf, but that’s not all! Look for interactive areas throughout the course including kid zones, local food, fun activities and more. Gates open at 8 a.m., so make sure you come early to experience it all.
• Free for kids and military:  Want to bring kids? Go right ahead – it’s free! Youth 18 and under get in free when accompanied by a ticketed adult, up to four per adult. That’s a deal that can’t be beat! All active duty, Reserve and National Guard military members, military retirees and their dependents also receive free admission.
• Home of a legend:  Not only does East Lake Golf Club host golf’s biggest finish, but it was home to arguably one of golf’s biggest legends, Bobby Jones. You can walk the grounds of the course that the Atlanta-native claimed as his home throughout his successful amateur career. Jones was most famous for his 1930 “Grand Slam” – winning all four of golf’s major championships in one year.
• Amazing fan amenities:  With the purchase of a grounds ticket, the most accessible of all ticket options, attendees have the opportunity to watch the 30 best players in the world compete while enjoying FREE access to incredible fan amenities, such as the Coca-Cola Lounge and Back Nine Brews as well as the ever-popular SO Cool Zone, GREY GOOSE 19th Hole Lounge, Peachtree Porch, the Deck and much more!.

Insider tips

• Park for free:  Worried about parking? Don’t be! Parking is free at Center Parc Credit Union Stadium at Georgia State University on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and at Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood on Saturday and Sunday, and free shuttles run continuously to and from East Lake Golf Club.
• Stay Connected:  Social media savvy? Cell phones are allowed at the TOUR Championship and we’d love to connect with you! Share your fun tournament photos (remember, these can only be taken in our designated cell phone zones), use our hashtags and keep a look out for our social media caddies giving away tournament swag.

Determine your “fan personality” by exploring the journeys online at tourchampionship.com and downloading the PGA TOUR app to follow along with the interactive maps.

Over 790 players from 47 Local Tours competed in the 2023 Golfweek National Championship!

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. –This year’s tournament marked the 29th anniversary of the Golfweek Amateur Tour. In all, nearly 800 players competed in the three-day event with members from each one of our 47 Local Tours represented.

In the Championship Flight,  Joe Jaspers  won an unprecedented seventh National Championship in a sudden-death playoff over  Lance Lacombe .  Jaspers  opened the tournament on Friday at Robert Trent Jones with a three-under-par round of 69 and a two-shot lead over Chad Frank.   The Robert Trent Jones course belonged to Elliott Johnson on Saturday when he fired a four-under-par round of 68 and took a one-shot lead over Jaspers heading into the final round. The stage was set for a shoot-out on Sunday and the flight leaders did not disappoint! Lance Lacombe started the day four shots back but made-up ground on the back nine with an eagle on 15 and birdie on 16 resulting in the low round of the weekend (a five-under-par score of 67). Jaspers hung tight and birdied the fifteenth to tie Lacombe at three-under-par. On seventeen (par 3), Jaspers hit the ball to ten feet and power-lipped it out for the lead. At the end of the day, Jaspers and Lacombe both finished the 54-hole tournament at three-under-par and landed in a sudden death playoff on hole 18. Jaspers hit a perfect shot to about 6 feet and then followed it by sinking the birdie putt to become the 2023 National Champion. It was the second year in a row that Lance Lacombe finished solo second.

Joe Jaspers , Charlotte, NC (69-74-70—213) Lance Lacombe , Jacksonville, FL (75-71-67—213) Corbin Holt , Alabama (73-72-70—215) Elliott Johnson , Hilton Head/Savannah (74-68-74—216) Chad Frank , Orlando (71-76-71—218)

In the A Flight, we had a back nine battle all day between Eric Whitworth and Wayne Fisher at Golden Bear GC in Indigo Run .   The two dueled it out until Whitworth finally won by only one shot on the final hole.  Whitworth fired a 75 while Fisher posted an even par (72) and lost by just one stroke.  Whitworth now has the pleasure of being the 2023 A Flight National Champion..

Eric Whitworth , Charlotte, NC (71-75-75—221) Wayne Fisher , Philadelphia Metro (71-79-72—222) David Dodgen , Columbia, SC (77-79-76—232) Dana Shoulders , Columbus, OH (81-81-71—233) Eric Maland , Charleston, SC (81-78-74—233)

In the B Flight, Kevin Ingram did not let his second-day score of 90 stop him from coming on strong in Sunday’s final round! Ingram shot the low round at Hampton Hall (four-over-par round of 76) and finished two-strokes ahead of the field with a three-day total of 244. Ken Sloan finished second at 246 and Jason Vesser placed third with a 247. Once again, congratulations to Kevin Ingram for posting one of the biggest come-from-behind wins in Tour history to become our 2023 B Flight National Champion.

Kevin Ingram , Nashville, TN (78-90-76—244) Ken Sloan , Cincinnati/Dayton, OH (85-80-81—246) Jason Vesser, Mississippi (78-84-85—247) Bob Santee , Upstate, SC (80-85-83—248) Rich McClendon , Arkansas (86-77-85—248) Justin Carroll , South, FL (81-82-85—248) Tony Chon , Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (78-83-87—248) Brian Harden , Tidewater, VA (77-84-87—248)

The C Flight saw Ryan Samples take home his first-ever National Championship with a three-day score of 260. Going into the final day, Samples was four shots behind the two-day leader, Thomas Purvis . Samples managed to pull away on the Atlantic Dunes course and secured the victory and the 2023 C Flight National Champion trophy.

Ryan Samples , Indiana-Western, KY (91-82-87—260) Thomas Purvis , Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (86-83-93—262) Colton Vaughn , Alabama (97-79-87—263) Gary Parnell , Columbia, SC (92-89-83-264) Kevin Briggs , Orlando, FL (86-84-94—264)

In D Flight,  Michael Ray  beat both Justin Cook and Robert Benavides by four shots to become the National Champion with a three-day score of 268. Sunday was just a three-horse race as both pushed hard to make up a few shots and close the gap. Ultimately, Cook and Benavides came up short and Ray took home the hardware and the title of 2023 D Flight National Champion.

Michael Ray , North Central, FL (88-90-90—268) Justin Cook , Central North Carolina (98-87-87—272) Robert Benavides , Cincinnati/Dayton, OH (90-91-91—272) Marcus Knight , Indiana-Western, KY (98-88-89—275) Gary Hedges , Cincinnati/Dayton, OH (91-93-91—275)

Cincinnati/Dayton defended their Team Cup status from 2022 with a three-day total of 2495 stokes. Charlotte, NC  took second place with 2523 shots followed by the 2021 winner Hilton Head/Savannah at 2528. Columbus, OH  finished fourth at 2545 followed by  Orlando, FL  with a three-day total of 2547.

Turning to the Edwin Watts 2 Man Team Challenge, be sure to congratulate the following teams for winning their flight with the three-day totals listed below:

Champ Flight: Corbin Holt (Alabama) and Lance Lacombe (Jacksonville, FL) 428 A Flight: Travis Wireman (Charlotte, NC) and Eric Whitworth (Charlotte, NC) 468 B Flight: Justin Carroll (South Florida) and Adam Rosenberger (South Florida) 502 C Flight: Colton Vaughn (Alabama) and Bubba Thrash (Alabama) 536 D Flight: David Schmidt (Augusta, GA) and Chris Oliver (Augusta, GA) 558

TOUR Championship announces dates for 2024 tournament

PGA TOUR season finale to be contested over Labor Day weekend, Aug. 28 – Sept. 1, 2024

ATLANTA – The TOUR Championship will make a one-year return to Labor Day weekend in 2024 as part of today’s announcement of the 2024 PGA TOUR schedule, with the FedExCup Playoffs finale to be held at East Lake Golf Club from Wednesday, Aug. 28 – Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024. Traditionally contested during the third week in August, the TOUR Championship will be played one week later in 2024 to account for the Men’s Olympic Golf Competition in Paris from July 29 – August 4.

History of Golf in Atlanta

Golf has deep roots in Atlanta. However, it was not until the early 1900s that the game really began to take off in Atlanta, thanks in large part to the efforts of legendary golfer Bobby Jones.

Jones, who grew up in Atlanta and attended Georgia Tech, quickly made a name for himself in the golf world, winning his first major championship at the age of 21. He went on to win a total of 13 major championships, including the coveted Grand Slam in 1930.

Jones’ success on the golf course helped to popularize the game in Atlanta, and he was instrumental in the founding of the East Lake Golf Club. The club, which was originally known as the Atlanta Athletic Club, was founded in 1904 and became a hub for golf enthusiasts in the city.

However, by the 1990s, the East Lake Golf Club had fallen into disrepair and was in danger of closing. That’s when Tom Cousins, an Atlanta developer, stepped in and spearheaded a major renovation of the course and surrounding community.

Today, the East Lake Golf Club is a thriving community and home to the Tour Championship, one of the most prestigious events in professional golf.

Bobby Jones and the Masters

In addition to his impact on the Atlanta golf scene, Bobby Jones is also known for his role in the founding of the Masters tournament. Jones, along with investment banker Clifford Roberts, founded the tournament in 1934 and it quickly became one of the most prestigious events in golf.

Today, the Masters is one of the four major championships in professional golf and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious and exclusive events in the sport. The tournament is held annually at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, and attracts the best golfers from around the world.

The history of golf in Atlanta is rich and fascinating, with Bobby Jones and the East Lake Golf Club playing a pivotal role in the growth and popularity of the game in the city. Today, Atlanta is home to some of the best public golf courses in the country, offering golfers of all levels a challenging and rewarding experience.

PGA Tour commissioner says sides are making progress on deal with Saudi backers of LIV Golf

CROMWELL, Conn. — (AP) — PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said Wednesday the difficulty in finalizing a deal with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf isn’t a reason for concern.

“With complexity comes opportunity,” he said before the start of the Travelers Championship at the TPC River Highlands. “There are a lot of different factors at play, but nobody who is having the conversation is unaware of the complexity. And everyone, I think, is embracing the fact that there are obstacles and things you’ve got to overcome in a complex situation.

“We have the right people around the table for us,” Monahan said, “and they do as well.”

It's been more than a year since the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia — the financial backer of the rival LIV circuit — announced plans to form a partnership that would help bring peace to a sport torn apart by the departures of dozens of top players lured away by Saudi riches.

A framework for the deal was announced June 6, 2023, with plans to finalize it by the end of the year.

The deadline passed with no agreement . Monahan said a June 11 meeting in New York, attended by Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, with Rory McIlroy phoning in from the Memorial, was "very productive." He declined to give specifics.

Monahan said he is on the phone with the PIF multiple times a week, including just about an hour earlier on Wednesday morning. “My outlook for those discussions and discussions continues to be very positive,” he said.

Speaking from the last of the limited field, no-cut signature events on the tour’s calendar this year, Monahan declined to say what has been agreed to and what remains unsettled. The original framework has changed greatly, he acknowledged.

“The framework agreement is still relevant. There are aspects of it that certainly continue to be in play. But we’ve all stepped back, and we started anew,” he said, listing new committees and other opportunities for the players to participate and profit from a future tour. “The vast majority of what we’re talking about, we’re building from the ground up.”

One of the complexities the deal faces is a possible objection from the Justice Department on antitrust grounds . The rival tours would need to show that the deal enhances competition — by bringing all the best golfers to the same tournament, for example — instead of squelching competition by giving golf fans, sponsors and players fewer options.

The sides already bowed to one suggestion from the Justice Department last summer, eliminating an anti-poaching clause in the framework agreement.

Meanwhile, players continued to defect to LIV — including last year's Masters champion, Jon Rahm.

Only seven players have been involved in the talks. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler said he didn’t know enough about the negotiations to worry about what will happen.

“I haven’t really heard too much, so I don’t know if they’re going great or if they’re going poorly, so your guess is as good as mine I think at this point,” he said. “Definitely no frustration or anything like that for me. It’s out of my control, so I’m not too worried about it.

“They have got a lot of big business decisions to make,” said Scheffler, who is a member of the Player Advisory Council. “But as far as input in the negotiations, I don’t really have much to say at all.”

She spends more than two months each year traveling internationally with her husband and two school-age children. She has visited more than 50 countries. Her work appears in The Wall Street Journal, BBC, The Cut, The Guardian and other top publications.

Planning a getaway to Atlanta? You won’t leave disappointed because the city is sure to turn on its Southern charm. As a major travel hub also known for lush green spaces and plenty of activities for sports fans, Atlanta has also emerged as a place that welcomes travelers looking for sophisticated food and top-notch events year around. Add that to the city’s mild weather and you’re in the ideal spot to explore, whether you're a kid-toting family, a solo-traveling history buff or a group of friends in search of food and culture.

Arrive in Atlanta and drop off your bags at The Candler Hotel Atlanta, Curio Collection by Hilton , your centrally located home away from home for the long weekend. Admire the facade of the city’s first steel skyscraper before entering the hotel’s restored beaux arts lobby with original marble columns and vintage-style elevators. Next, head to Bomb Biscuit Co. for one of the city’s most buzzworthy breakfasts. The food-stall-turned restaurant offers a signature Glori-Fried Chicken Biscuit featuring a buttermilk-marinated chicken thigh with honey butter.

Spend the afternoon exploring the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Piedmont Park. The 30-acre hideaway includes sweet-scented blossoms, towering trees and plenty of walking paths to explore. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast looking to get lost for the afternoon or go exploring with your family, check out the garden’s website for personalized itineraries before you begin. Don’t miss the Fuqua Orchid Center, with more than 2,000 orchid species and a variety of tropical plants.

At Nan Thai Fine Dining in Midtown, Chef Nan Niyomkul prepares her inventive cuisine for devoted locals and curious travelers. Seafood lovers are sure to enjoy the lobster pad thai or crispy whole red snapper served with the chef’s signature three-flavored chili sauce. But save room for some Thai tea creme brulee for dessert. For a night cap, swing by Park Bar, a popular downtown spot with a wide selection of bourbon and craft beer.

Start the morning with an energizing stroll through nearby Centennial Olympic Park. Built as part of the 1996 summer Olympic games, the 22-acre complex offers plenty of entertainment. For the ultimate panorama, take a spin on SkyView Atlanta, a Ferris wheel towering 20-stories above downtown. The park also offers audio walking tours for visitors eager to learn more about its history. Then refuel at the Atlanta Breakfast Club, a local favorite known for its peach cobbler French toast.

Spend the afternoon exploring the historic Swan House and its perfectly manicured gardens. Located at the Atlanta History Center, this 1920s mansion has maintained its elegant charm and even served as the backdrop for some big box office hits. Afterward, enjoy lunch at Apt 4B, where the DJ will have you moving in your seat and the chef whips up Caribbean dishes with international flair. Don’t miss the oxtail hummus or snapper ceviche.

Dress to impress for an evening at By George . The Candler’s refined restaurant welcomes guests from all over for its Southern cuisine and stellar wine list. Try favorites including the shrimp and grits, lemon sole and tempura fried lobster tail. After, stick around to sample some of By George’s elegant cocktails at the lively bar area. For a crowd-pleasing option, try the Peachtree, which includes a mix of cognac, bourbon and sweet vermouth.

Start the day at The Hive in Buckhead with what some call “the brunch of all brunches.” You’ll quickly understand its reputation when the mouthwatering red velvet chicken and waffle or the fried catfish and grits arrive at the table. After the meal, stroll through the nearby Buckhead Village District, with several blocks offering a mix of name brands and independent stores with plenty of seating areas to relax.

Delve into the nation's complex history at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. This downtown museum in Pemberton Park highlights the achievements of the human rights movement. Visitors of all ages can explore the legacy of human rights through exhibits showcasing global activists, the personal papers of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and even a simulation that allows visitors to experience a non-violent 1960s sit-in firsthand.

Head out for an evening at Zoo Atlanta. The zoo offers guided afterhours Twilight Treks from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on certain evenings. Participants use anything from trail cameras and night-vision scopes to infrared tech for a firsthand look at nocturnal animal behavior. Tours are geared toward schoolchildren but are sure to keep their accompanying adults entertained, too, making it a memorable activity for the entire family.

Spend the morning at Ponce City Market in the city’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. The former Sears, Roebuck & Co. warehouse was renovated while maintaining its 1920s old-world charm. It officially reopened in 2014 as Ponce City Market, drawing locals to its retailers and food hall. Food stalls include restaurants from James Beard award-winning chefs. For a morning meal choose between pastries from the Saint-Germain Bakery or the breakfast-all-day Pancake Social.

Head to Little Five Points, Atlanta’s hippest neighborhood, for an afternoon of shopping in record stores, vintage boutiques and other one-of-a-kind shops with handicrafts from local artists. Be sure to admire the plentiful street art, while live music and street performances often fill the area, too. For a fancier meal, grab a table at Wrecking Bar Brewpub, where you’ll find upscale pub food like confit duck or creamy mushroom risotto.

Before heading home, pick up a few treats — for yourself and friends — at the historical Municipal Market in Sweet Auburn, also known as the Curb Market. Originally founded as an open-air market in 1918, it now houses nearly three dozen local businesses, offering perfectly edible souvenirs. Between the fascinating museums, picturesque parks and delectable cuisine, Atlanta has plenty to offer for the perfect long weekend that will leave you wanting more.
