THE CLASSIC at East Lake

The 2025 Classic will take place at the famed East Lake Golf Club. Located in Atlanta, Georgia, East Lake is the oldest golf course in the city of Atlanta and where legendary golfer Bobby Jones learned the game. Since 2005, East Lake has been the permanent home of the TOUR Championship, the culminating event of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedEx Cup. In 2023, architect Andrew Green led a complete renovation of the course, using previously unknown photos as design inspiration.

When asked about suffering from syringomyelia: "Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball as it lies"

ABOUT The Classic

Bobby Jones was diagnosed with syringomyelia, a painful debilitating disorder that still impacts families today, and the treatment has not significantly improved since his time.

The Bobby Jones Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation is working to educate, advocate and fund research for brain & spinal cord disorders and created the Bobby Jones Classic in Jones's honor.
