GUIDE | THE PLAYERS Golf Tournament At TPC Sawgrass

The Players golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass puts Ponte Vedra Beach on the national map. As the best real estate agents in Ponte Vedra Beach, we've sold multiple homes in TPC Sawgrass. In fact, we live in the community ourselves! So, here's our "locals guide" to enjoying a Sawgrass Splash and the 17th Island Green (if you don't know what those are, keep reading ...) at one of the PGA Tour's most prestigious events of the year.

The year's event, which runs from March 8 through the 13th, will mark the 40th anniversary of the tournament at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach. The 144-player field features representation from 25 countries, with the entire Top-30 in the Official World Golf Rankings represented. The course is called the "stadium course" because of all the spectators that surround the 17th green, which is an island. The hole is a par 3 and known for heckling fans watching golfers hit balls in the water.
