CBS Radio broadcast updates daily, making this the second golf tournament to live broadcast. The sportscaster was Herbert H. Ramsay, former U.S. Golf Association president. This tournament also marked the return of Bobby Jones from retirement.

Horton Smith won the event with a 20-foot (6 m) birdie putt at the 17th hole (now the 8th hole), and finished at 284 (−4), one stroke ahead of runner-up Craig Wood. (The current nines were reversed in 1934, switched to the current configuration prior to the 1935 event.) Tournament co-founder and host Bobby Jones finished ten strokes back at 294, tied for thirteenth place. The total purse was $5,000 and the winner's share was $1,500.

• The holes' current names (2013) are listed above; the current nines were switched for 1934 only.
