PGA Tour Championship Won't Leave Georgia Despite New Voting Law Being Passed

The PGA Tour announced Saturday it would not change its location of the Tour Championship amid Georgia's controversial new voting laws, per Bob Harig of ESPN.

The season-ending event will remain at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta in August, as the organization explained in a statement:

"The Tour Championship's commitment to East Lake has helped our partners transform distressed neighborhoods into healthy and thriving ones, which is a key to ending the cycle of intergenerational poverty. The charitable and economic benefits that have led to these substantial changes would not continue if we simply walked away from those in need.
