The PGA TOUR’s season finale. 30 players. Historic East Lake Golf Club. The FedExCup on the line. Here’s everything you DIE HARD golf fans need to see and do at the TOUR Championship:
1. Welcome Pavilion Brush up on your Bobby Jones and East Lake history! Created in partnership with the Atlanta History Center and curated by Dr. Catherine Lewis, fans will be able to take a journey through the hallowed grounds of East Lake Golf Club immediately after walking through the Glenwood Gate. In addition to photos and facts featuring Bobby Jones, spectators will be also treated to a glimpse of the storied history of East Lake including Arnold Palmer’s winning U.S. Ryder Cup team in 1963 where Palmer was the last playing captain.
The pavilion will also highlight many of the thrilling moments of the FedExCup champions that have been crowned at East Lake Golf Club over the last decade.
2. Practice Range Stake out your spot behind the best players in the world as they warm up for the PGA TOUR’s season finale.
3. PGA TOUR Fan Shop Let’s face it, you’re not leaving East Lake without stocking up on some merch. The PGA TOUR Fan Shop, located in the SO Cool Zone near the 15th green and 14th fairway, will have the newest TOUR Championship gear as well as the unique, sought-after ATL-FedExCup branded designs. Go get ‘em before they’re gone!
4. Troutman Sanders GSGA Putting Experience Care to see how you fare on one of East Lake’s greens? Here’s your chance. A replica putting green with tournament speed will be available near the SO Cool Zone behind the PGA TOUR Fan Shop for a limited time each day for fans to hit a few putts on an authentic East Lake green.
5. 1st tee If you’re here on Thursday, make sure you show up for the Opening Ceremony at 11 a.m. Otherwise, take a seat in some of the shaded bleachers and listen to the player announcements as the top 30 take on East Lake.
6. 18th green As far as sitting areas go, it may not get any better than the grassy space directly behind the 18th green. Last year, these fans had a front-row seat to watch Tiger’s historic walk up the fairway. But make sure you get there early if you want to see the leaders; these spots fill up fast!
