On the heels of an exciting Masters, some of the greats of golf will be playing in Duluth this week.

The PGA TOUR Champions season resumes this week with the seventh-annual Mitsubishi Electric Classic in Gwinnett County. Steve Flesch will look to defend his title, while Bernhard Langer, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Olin Browne, Woody Austin and Stephen Ames will also be vying for a second tournament title at TPC Sugarloaf. The field features nine members of the World Golf Hall of Fame – including Tom Watson, Colin Montgomerie and 2019 inductee Retief Goosen – as well as one member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz will make his second start of the season, as he finished T53 in his season debut at the Cologuard Classic.
