TOUR Championship 2021 Dear Partners, On behalf of our entire staff, we thank you for your support of the TOUR Championship! Just as The Coca-Cola Company and Southern Company have shown their support for the TOUR Championship and the Atlanta community and charities, your company has done the same by participating in this great event. The TOUR Championship made contributions of over $3.56 million to charities, which primarily benefits the East Lake Foundation, the First Tee of Metro Atlanta, Purpose Built Schools Atlanta, the Grove Park Foundation, and Focus Community Strategies. Since 1998, the TOUR Championship has donated over $38 million to charity, both locally and nationwide. We hope to significantly increase our donations to our primary charities in 2021 and look forward to working closely with you, your company and your associates to grow several new charitable initiatives. Golf has proven to be an effective platform to promote a company’s brand or services to an attractive audience of existing and potential clients. More than ever, we are committed to enhancing the platform that is the TOUR Championship, ensuring a successful week for you and your clients and a continued beneficial experience for all involved. We look forward to making this year’s TOUR Championship a week to remember. Sincerely yours, Allison Fillmore Executive Director Championship Staff Below are the names and email addresses of the TOUR Championship Staff. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

It Ends Where It All Began The TOUR Championship welcomes fans from across the globe to experience not only the essence of Atlanta – the culture, the food, the traditions – but also the most elite field in golf on the hallowed grounds of East Lake Golf Club. The 30 best players on the planet return to the home turf of Atlanta hero and legendary golfer, Bobby Jones, to compete for the fame and fortune of the FedExCup. The 2021 TOUR Championship marks the 14th year of the PGA TOUR’s season ending event and FedExCup Playoff Finale. The format will award starting FedExCup strokes based on the FedExCup standings. The player with the lowest score total at the TOUR Championship including their starting FedExCup strokes will be named the FedExCup champion. Atlanta’s love affair with golf began a century ago at the iconic East Lake Golf Club. The grounds boast the undeniable aura of being the first golf course in the city and the only course with the true claim to being the home of legendary golfer Bobby Jones. The club is not only historic, but philanthropic as well with proceeds from operations – $20 million to date – playing a central role in the remarkable transformation of the surrounding East Lake Community. The TOUR Championship alone has generated more than $38 million for charities since the tournament has been hosted at East Lake Golf Club, primarily benefiting the East Lake Foundation, the First Tee of Metro Atlanta, Purpose Built Schools Atlanta, the Grove Park Foundation, and Focus Community Strategies.
