The FedEx Cup season will no longer end on a long par 3.
The PGA Tour announced Tuesday that it is reversing the front and back nines at East Lake in an attempt to create more excitement for the Tour Championship.
The “new” final five holes – Nos. 5-9 – have produced a wide range of scores over the past several years.
The fifth is a 500-yard par 4 that has traditionally played as the most difficult hole on the course. The sixth is a par 3 with a peninsula green.
