Welcome to CaddyBytes.com’s Tournament's page for the 2016 Tour Championship The TOUR Championship began in 1987 as a year end tourney for the seasons top 30 money winners and has rotated the event amongst various golf courses and regions of the country in the past.The East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta has been in that rotation since 2004 when it was deemed the 'permanent' season ending home to the PGA Tour's official season ending Tour Championship and now crowning the PGA Tour's FedExCup Champion. It was on these 'hallowed golfing grounds' in the early part of the past century that a sickly child by the name of Robert Tyre (Bobby) Jones whacked a stick and a ball down the dirt roads surrounding what is now the East Lake golf club trying to emulate the swing of the club's first golf pro there - Scottish born Stewart Maiden.  The rest of that story is now a part of golfing history.The field for this year's Tour Championship is the usual number of 30 players 'winnowed down' from the 70 FedExCup qualifiers who qualify for being in the top 30 after last week's BMW Championship in Indiana.
