The PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup head to East Lake in Atlanta this week for the final tournament in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup, THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola. LIVE@ is at both the par-4 first and the par-3 18th. Here's a look at each hole.
|
| No. 1 | Par 4 | 424 yards |
| The drive on the opening hole requires the player to be on the left side of the fairway to have the best shot at the green. Two bunkers right of the green and one bunker left are ready to capture an errant shot. The deep bunker on the right makes a back right hole location the toughest. |

| Hole 18 | Par 3 | 235 yards |
| Depending on the wind, players could use anything from a fairway wood to a long iron on this demanding par-3. Deep bunkers left and right of the two-tiered green leave little room for error. Any player leaving the ball above the pin must take extra care, facing one of East Lake's most difficult putts. Sunday afternoon drama awaits. |
