The PGA Tour recently announced that Alex Urban has been named Executive Director of the Tour Championship and replaces Allison Fillmore,
“My time in Maui will always be a cherished chapter of my career, but this is a dream scenario for me to lead the finale of the FedExCup Playoffs in an area of the country that is so familiar to me,” Urban said
“Having attended the TOUR Championship on several occasions as a member of the PGA TOUR’s communications department, I have a great deal of appreciation for the tournament, East Lake Golf Club, its storied history and the impact the event continues to make throughout the city of Atlanta.
"I look forward to becoming a part of the Atlanta community and building on the growth and momentum Allison and her team experienced during her time as executive director.”
