Major Augusta golf project showing significant signs of progress
Although it's been three months since Rory McIlroy captured his career Grand Slam by winning the 2025 Masters, there's plenty of excitement in Augusta, Georgia, on the golf front these days. Augusta National Golf Club Chairman Fred Ridley announced in 2023 that the club was creating a partnership with Augusta Municipal Golf Course, First Tee of Augusta and Augusta Tech to strengthen public golf in the community. Ridley then followed with an announcement at the 2025 Masters that the club is partnering with five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods to design a nine-hole short course as part of the renovation of the muni lovingly referred to as "The Patch." Woods' non-profit, the TGR Foundation, will also construct a TGR Learning Lab in Augusta. A new video released by the course shows that sod is being laid and the renovations are beginning to take shape. It was previously announced that Augusta Tech would relocate its golf course management program to The Patch, creating a living classroom environment. The course, which is being handled by design teams from Tom Fazio and Beau Welling, is expected to be completed in April 2026. Woods, who has worked with Welling in the past, visited the site in late June with Ridley.
