One of Golf’s Biggest Events

The prestigious field of THE PLAYERS comprises 144 players, each earning qualification through criteria designed to guarantee the participation of the very best in the sport. Qualifiers include the top 50 players ranked by World Golf, current leaders in FedEx points, and victors of the competition over the last five years.
The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass
Crafted by the renowned designer Pete Dye, this golf course has been the proud host of THE PLAYERS for over four decades. It strikes a balance between being inviting and comfortable for spectators, while posing a formidable and at times, vexing challenge for players. Stretching across 7,000 yards, the course is intricately designed to assess every facet of a player's skill, featuring a mix of long, medium, and short holes, none of which follow the same direction consecutively. Notably, the 17th Island Green stands out as one of the most demanding and universally recognized holes in golf, adding an element of excitement to the game. For spectators, the experience is enhanced by superb visibility, easy navigation of the course, and covered bleachers offering comfortable seating overlooking key holes like 10, 12, 13, and 16. The Mediterranean-style clubhouse adds a visually stunning touch to the overall charm of the venue.
Food and Fun
Experience a culinary delight at the course with a variety of food vendors, including Mojo’s BBQ, Cousins Maine Lobster, Bonefish Grill, and The GOAT Tapas, showcasing the talents of some of the area's finest restaurants and chefs. Keep an eye out for popular food trucks like Twisted Okie BBQ, Tacos, Tikis, Pele, and Saffron, adding to the vibrant food scene. Additionally, Kid Zones offer entertaining and energy-burning activities for the younger attendees.
