ATLANTA — It's the biggest week of the year at East Lake Golf Club. The best professional golfers in the world arrive in Atlanta this week for the TOUR Championship.
The top 30 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings will compete for the FedEx Cup with the winner also taking home $18 million. The tournament takes place Thursday through Sunday, but fans can get a head start on activities earlier in the week.
The TOUR Championship is setting up four custom "bucket lists" that showcase some of the must-see hotspots at East Lake.
GOLF FANATICS
- 1st tee
Grab a seat under the shaded bleachers and listen to the player announcements as the top 30 take on East Lake. If you’re here on Thursday, make sure you show up for the HOPE Tee Shot Ceremony at 11 a.m. to witness the special TOUR Championship tradition.
- 3rd Green / 9th Tee
Once most of the field is on the course, the area between the third green and ninth tee is a perfect spot to watch a ton of golf. See how players fare on the short par-4 third and then turn around to watch as others take on the lengthy par-3 ninth. The popular Coca-Cola Lounge is located adjacent to the ninth tee.
- PGA TOUR Superstores 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.
- 18th green
Each year, these fans have a front-row seat to see the FedExCup champion crowned. But make sure you get there early if you want to see the leaders; these spots fill up fast!
