The

was a
golf
tournament on the

, a regular stop in suburban
Atlanta
for over four decades. It was founded in
1967
, although previous events dating to 1934 are included in the PGA Tour's past winners list.
AT&T
was the last title sponsor of the tournament.
From 1967 to
1996

Marietta
, northwest of Atlanta. From
1997

, it was played over the Stables and Meadows nines at
TPC at Sugarloaf

Duluth
, northeast of Atlanta.
For most of its years, the Atlanta tournament was usually held in May. From
1999
–
2006
, it was moved to early April, the week before the
Masters
. Its final two editions were in mid-May, a week after the
Players Championship
(which was moved from late March). The tournament was cancelled after the 2008 season.

This event is not to be confused with the

, prior to AT&T's acquisition of BellSouth. It was cancelled after the
