The TOUR Championship announced a record $7.2 million contribution from the 2024 golf event, up from $6.96 million in 2023.

Southern Company and the TOUR Championship are proud to support local initiatives and the success of these efforts would not be possible without the incredible support from fans, partners and the community. By attending the tournament and getting involved, fans help fuel these important programs, creating lasting opportunities for Metro Atlanta’s communities.
