At the newly designed Par 3 ninth hole, the green was moved down significantly and now takes water into play on any shot that comes up short.

It’s one of the countless changes to the property where fans will notice improvements on every single hole and the overall fan experience.

The TOUR Championship will have nearly a dozen hospitality venues, including a brand-new, upscale space. The Georgian is situated on the old No. 9 tee box.
