East Lake Golf Club is a private golf club 5 miles east of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Established in 1904, it is the oldest golf course in the city.[3] East Lake was the home course of golfer Bobby Jones and much of its clubhouse serves as a tribute to his accomplishments.
Since 2004, East Lake has been the permanent home of The Tour Championship, the culminating event of the PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedEx Cup.[1] The Tour Championship was first played at the course in 1998. The reigning Tour Championship and FedEx Cup champion is Viktor Hovland.
All proceeds from operations at East Lake Golf Club—more than $20 million to date[3]—go to support the East Lake Foundation, which has helped transform one of the nation's worst public housing projects into a thriving community.[4]
