Key takeaway East Lake Golf Club will no longer host the TOUR Championship every year starting in 2028.
Why this matters in The Atlanta
The PGA Tour's decision to rotate the TOUR Championship among different courses starting in 2028 will undoubtedly have a significant impact on Atlanta's golf scene and local economy. East Lake Golf Club, which has hosted the tournament every year since 2004, will still have opportunities to host the event in the future, but the loss of its annual guarantee may affect the city's revenue from tourism and hospitality. The PGA Tour's commitment to keeping Atlanta as a priority market is reassuring, but the city will need to adapt to the new format and potentially bid on hosting the tournament in the future. This change also presents an opportunity for other local golf courses to potentially host the event and showcase their facilities to a national audience. As the details of the rotation schedule are still being evaluated, Atlanta golf fans and businesses will be watching closely to see how this new model unfolds and what it means for the city's role in the PGA Tour schedule.
