Editor's note: The question was published before the PGA Tour announced its plan for a two-week match-play format for the Tour Championship starting in 2028. The concept includes moving the tournament to various venues around the country.

Robert Miller | Tega Cay, SC
Oak Hill Country Club (Rochester, NY) and Country Club of Detroit (Grosse Pointe Farms, MI).

Paul Vicary | The Villages, FL
Since FedEx is putting up the prize money, it would have to be an Atlanta club. Keeping it at East Lake Golf Club (Atlanta, GA) is fine with me.
—————
William McCalmont | WaterSound Beach, FL
Pine Valley Golf Club (Pine Valley, NJ), Cypress Point Club (Pebble Beach, CA), and Seminole Golf Club (Juno Beach, FL).

Mark Kazich | Darien, IL
Whistling Straits (Haven, WI), Olympia Fields Country Club (Olympia Fields, IL), and Cog Hill Golf & Country Club (Lemont, IL). These are Midwest locales that have been neglected for reasons unknown.

David Juarez | Martinsburg, WV

Keep it at East Lake Golf Club (Atlanta, GA)! I understand many would like to see a rota for this championship, but note that the majors have only one "at home" course: The Masters remains at Augusta National Golf Club (Augusta, GA). Continue to create a permanent home for this championship, and continue the otherwise 50-week rota for the PGA Tour.
