Which Florida golf facility hosts The Players Championship?

TPC Sawgrass hosts The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

More precisely, the tournament is played on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. The course became the event’s permanent home in 1982, after the tournament had used several other venues during its early years, including Atlanta Country Club, Colonial Country Club and Sawgrass Country Club.

The Stadium Course was designed by Pete Dye and is famous for its island-green 17th hole, one of golf’s most recognizable short par-3s. The hole’s small putting surface is surrounded almost entirely by water, making it a dramatic test even for the world’s best players.

The Players Championship began in 1974 and is the PGA Tour’s flagship tournament. Although it is not officially one of golf’s four major championships, its elite field, large purse and demanding course have led many observers to call it the “fifth major.”
