What Pga Events Are In Georgia |
The Big Kahuna: The TOUR Championship
Let's start with the main event, the heavyweight championship, the TOUR Championship (because apparently winning a golf tournament isn't dramatic enough). Held at the legendary East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, this tournament brings together the PGA Tour's top 30 players to battle it out for FedEx Cup glory. Think of it as the Avengers: Endgame of professional golf, with even more trophies and (hopefully) less existential angst.
Pro tip: If you snag tickets, be sure to pack your sunscreen and your fanciest golf visor. Unless you're rocking a killer plaid jacket, that is.
Beyond the Big Leagues: Georgia's Golfing Gems
But hold on to your wedges, golf fans! The TOUR Championship isn't the only game in town. The Golf Club of Georgia, another Georgia gem, plays host to a number of elite events, including the Georgia Cup and the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate Invitational.
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
Translation: Witness the rising stars and seasoned veterans battle it out on some of the state's most immaculate courses. There's a good chance you might even catch a glimpse of the next big thing in golf (or at least someone with a very impressive swing).
