The Course
East Lake Golf Club
Tiered start on leaderboard based on FedEx Cup points. Most extensive renovations since Rees Jones in the mid 90s.
Renovations done by Andrew Green, who also helped remodel Oak Hill East in 2019 prior to 2023 PGA champ supposedly going to "highlight the Donald Ross heritage larger greens, refurbished bunkers and greens, more contour in fairways (faster when dry). Big emphasis on shot shaping. It is now a Par 71, 7,455 yards. Keeping the ball out of the Bermuda rough is necessary to succeed.
