ATLANTA - East Lake Golf Club will become the primary host of the Tour Championship through a marketing deal with Coca-Cola. <br>
<br>
The deal makes the golf club the presenting sponsor of the PGA Tour's season-ending event. <br>
<br>
Atlanta-based Coca-Cola agreed to a four-year deal Monday that runs through 2005, with an option for a six-year extension. <br>
<br>
The Tour Championship has been played at East Lake in even-numbered years and Champions Golf Club in Houston in odd-numbered years since 1997. <br>
<br>
Houston-based Dynegy was the presenting sponsor last year. <br>
<br>
The event will be played at Champions again in 2003, but returns to East Lake for 2004 and 2005. <br>
<br>
The Tour Championship is for the top 30 players on the PGA Tour money list. <br>
<br>
Along with becoming a presenting sponsor, Coca-Cola will be the official soft drink of the PGA Tour, Senior PGA Tour and Buy.com Tour.
