2025 Tour Championship R3 Weather Forecast: Will there be disruption at East Lake?

The third round of the 2025 Tour Championship will take place on Saturday, August 23 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The round is shaping up to be a test not just for the players’ skills, but also for their patience with the weather.

Moving Day at East Lake is expected to unfold under mostly cloudy skies with high humidity lingering throughout the day. AccuWeather reports indicate that the threat of rain and thunderstorms will build as the day progresses. It could potentially disrput play and forc golfers to adjust their strategies in the afternoon.

Winds are forecast to stay light to moderate. But combined with sticky conditions and unpredictable showers, they could influence how the course plays. This could especially be the case on longer approach shots and putts affected by softer greens.
