New to The Tour Championship this year is a pavilion at the entrance gate to honor Bobby Jones. Atlanta History Center hosts ‘Fair Play: The Bobby Jones Story.’ It’s the nation’s largest permanent exhibition of...

After retiring from golf, Bobby Jones worked in corporate law and held interests in Coca-Cola bottling plants.

The exhibit includes a timeline of Bobby Jones’ career.

Bobby Jones’ family moved to East Lake in 1908. After learning to play golf by watching a club professional, Jones won 13 major tournaments from 1923-30.

Bobby Jones’ 14-year playing career culminated in 1930 when he became the first and only golfer to achieve the Grand Slam by winning golf’s four major championships at the time.

Construction on the first seven holes at East Lake Golf Club began in 1905 and three years later the full 18-hole course opened.

The pavilion features a list of the major events held at East Lake Golf Club, including the 1963 Ryder Cup with U.S. player captain Arnold Palmer.

A past list of champions at the Tour Championship included Jim Furyk’s dramatic win in the rain in 2010.

Rory McIlroy won the 2016 Tour Championship and FedEx Cup in dramatic fashion, the first year the event switched the nine holes and ended on a par-5.

East Lake Golf Club has an exhibit honoring Arnold Palmer and the 1963 Ryder Cup held at the Atlanta Course. The exhibit is in the club house during the Tour Championship and features the Ryder Cup, Palmer’s golf...
