TOUR Championship
The TOUR Championship is the final event of the PGA TOUR season and the last stop of the FedExCup Playoffs, bringing the top 30 players to East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
East Lake is a season-finale test built on position, pressure, long approach shots, and late-round nerve. The course asks players to handle firm fairways, restored green complexes, demanding par 4s, and one of the most important closing stretches of the year.
For CaddyBytes, the TOUR Championship is the year-end hub for live scoring, FedExCup movement, East Lake course analysis, season-long storylines, highlights, tournament history, and the final PGA TOUR leaderboard of the season.
🏌️ East Lake Golf Club — Atlanta, Georgia Par 70 • 7,440 Yards • FedExCup Finale Test
East Lake Golf Club is the long-running home of the TOUR Championship and one of the defining venues of the FedExCup era. The course is a restored, classic parkland test where driving position, long-iron control, and pressure putting can decide the season.
Quick Course Overview
East Lake rewards players who can control the ball from tee to green while staying patient. The par-70 tournament setup removes easy scoring chances, stretches players with long par 4s, and places a premium on choosing the correct side of the fairway for approach angles into protected greens.
Course Type / Conditions
- Classic Atlanta parkland layout with restored green complexes
- Par-70 PGA TOUR setup with only two par 5s
- Long par 4s and demanding approach-shot windows
- Season-finale pressure where every late mistake can change the FedExCup race
What Matters Most
- Approach control from mid- and long-iron range
- Driving position to avoid blocked angles into firm greens
- Scrambling and lag putting when East Lake gets firm
- Pressure management with the FedExCup on the line
Key Holes / Momentum Stretch
- Early long par 4s can immediately separate players who control trajectory and distance.
- The par-5 scoring chances must be handled cleanly because easy birdies are limited.
- The closing stretch creates leaderboard pressure when players are trying to win both the tournament and the FedExCup.
Winning Formula
- Keep the ball in the correct sections of the fairway
- Control distance into East Lake's restored green complexes
- Take advantage of the limited par-5 chances
- Stay patient through difficult par-saving stretches

The TOUR Championship & East Lake Legacy
The TOUR Championship is the final event of the PGA TOUR season and the destination every FedExCup contender spends the year trying to reach. Only the top 30 players make it to East Lake, which gives the week a different feel from a normal full-field PGA TOUR event.
East Lake Golf Club has become the defining home of the FedExCup finale. The Atlanta venue brings history, pressure, and a compact leaderboard together on a course where one missed fairway, one poor approach, or one late three-putt can swing the entire season.
The modern TOUR Championship also gives fans a cleaner season-ending scoreboard. Every qualified player begins the week chasing the same trophy across 72 holes, with the FedExCup champion decided at East Lake through performance under pressure.
