Golf’s Top Thirty Compete for the Season Finale
The PGA TOUR’s top 30 players gather at East Lake for five days of championship golf and significant Atlanta visitor demand.
Event details
East Lake Golf Club, a course with its own storied history as Bobby Jones’s home track, hosts the PGA TOUR’s top 30 players each season for the TOUR Championship, the tour’s five-day finale. Practice rounds, competition days, and hospitality areas create a schedule substantial enough to draw golf travelers from well beyond Georgia for the entire week.
The season-ending stakes give even practice days an unusually charged atmosphere, as the eventual champion also claims the tour’s overall points title and a significant financial bonus. That combination of historic venue and genuine championship consequence sets East Lake apart from a typical regular-season tour stop, drawing a noticeably more attentive gallery than an early-season event might, with leaderboard scoreboards tracked as closely as the shots themselves.
Atlanta lodging fills quickly around major sporting weekends of this caliber, so booking well ahead of the tournament is worth the effort. Visitors can balance a day following the leaderboard with the city’s museums, restaurants, and BeltLine neighborhoods, treating the tournament as an anchor for a broader Atlanta week rather than the sole reason for the trip.
