Which Atlanta golf club hosts the Tour Championship?

The story behind the answer

The Atlanta golf club that hosts the Tour Championship is East Lake Golf Club.

East Lake is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and has been the permanent home of the Tour Championship since 2005. It is also the historic home course of Bobby Jones, the only golfer to win the original Grand Slam in 1930. Jones learned the game at East Lake, which gives the season-ending event an unusually strong connection to golf history.

The club’s course was originally designed by Tom Bendelow and opened in 1904. Donald Ross later redesigned it, and Rees Jones led a major restoration intended to recover Ross’s classic layout. The course is known for its tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering and recognizable finishing holes beside the lake.

The Tour Championship is the final event of the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Playoffs. Since 2019, the tournament has used a starting-strokes system based on FedExCup standings, although the exact format has changed over time. It is often confused with the Masters, played at Augusta National, or with older Tour Championship venues.
