The 2013 AT&T National Tournament is being held at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda through June 30. Many County departments and agencies have been working on arrangements and logistics with representatives from the PGA TOUR and Tiger Woods Foundation. Their goal is to help spectators get to and from the event as efficiently as possible so they can enjoy the overall experience.
Public Parking and Shuttle Bus Options
County and tour officials remind anyone planning to attend that, if driving, they must use one of the official tournament parking and shuttle lots. There is no general admission parking available in the immediate vicinity of the golf course.

On Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30 – as a convenience for spectators leaving the tournament and using public transit -- T2 Ride On buses will operate every 15 minutes from 4 to 8 p.m. between the Friendship Heights and Rockville Metro Stations. Until that time, the service operates every 30 minutes, beginning at 7 a.m.

After departing the bus, walk south on Bradley Blvd. and follow signs and directions to the shuttle that will drop off passengers at the tournament’s main entrance. Attendees who prefer to walk should go south on Bradley, then left on Persimmon Tree Rd. and proceed to Persimmon Tree La. and the tournament’s main walk-in entrance.

Economic Impact
The AT&T National not only provides a first-rate golf experience for area fans, it benefits local charities and has a positive impact on the local economy. For example, the economic impact from the 2012 tournament was more than $10.9 million, with total attendance of more than 136,000 for five out of six days of the tournament (no spectators were allowed on the course on Saturday due to the aftermath of the derecho that hit the area).
