The Mitsubishi Electric Classic is a golf tournament on the PGA Tour Champions in Georgia in the greater Atlanta area. It debuted twelve years ago in 2013 as the "Greater Gwinnett Championship," and has been played each year at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, a northeast suburb.[2] A familiar course, TPC Sugarloaf was a venue on the PGA Tour for twelve seasons (1997–2008) for the AT&T Classic (previously BellSouth Classic).
The purse in 2019 was $1.8 million, with a winner's share of $270,000.[1]
The Champions Tour tournament in 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, although the LocaliQ Series Championship was held in its place in November.
