GOLF – Professional
When the deepest field in golf takes on THE PLAYERS
Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, fans flock to the
Florida sun for a chance to catch a glimpse of the
game’s most illustrious champions. You are welcome to
experience one of golf ’s most prestigious tournaments
– THE PLAYERS Championship. Each May, THE PLAYERS
showcases excitement and intensity, not to mention
the beauty of one of the most recognized courses in the
world. THE PLAYERS brings the game’s top competitors
to this superior, demanding golf course and offers a fan
experience unlike any other, creating one of the most
dynamic, compelling events in all of golf.
Home of the PGA TOUR and THE PLAYERS
Championship, THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC
Sawgrass has established itself as one of the premier
tournament venues in all of golf. A player must display
a well-rounded, complete game and triumph over
one of the sport’s most daunting finishes in order to
become THE PLAYERS champion. All of that drama,
combined with a setting unequalled in golf, creates
an electrifying atmosphere that makes THE PLAYERS
a must-see, must-attend event.
The famed PLAYERS Stadium Course was designed
by renowned golf course architect Pete Dye. Since its
inception, the course’s final three holes have evolved
into one of the greatest risk/reward finishes in golf,
highlighted by the iconic 17th Island Green, one of the
most recognized and photographed holes in the game.
In 2006, TPC Sawgrass completed a multi-million dollar
renovation designed to elevate THE PLAYERS Stadium
Course to the highest professional level for the best
players in the world during THE PLAYERS, as well as
provide resort golfers with PGA TOUR-quality playing
conditions year-round.
