  • TPC Network Turns 40 by John Steinbreder • August 22, 2020
    My Account Logout READ THE MAGAZINE MEN’S PRO+ LPGA+ AMATEUR+ COURSE DESIGN+ MORE+ TPC Network Turns 40 By John Steinbreder • August 22, 2020 ith the building of the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass four decades ago, then-PGA W Tour commissioner Deane Beman did more than give the Players Championship a permanent home. Quite inadvertently, he also sowed the seeds of a business operation that today consists of 31 golf facilities and generates hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenues for the PGA Tour. Called the TPC Network, it currently comprises private, public and daily-fee courses that serve recreational golfers throughout the United States as well as in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Malaysia. Several of those layouts also act as venues for PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour events, such as TPC River Highlands outside Hartford, Connecticut, the home of the Travelers Championship, and TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, where the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational was held last month. This year’s PGA Championship was staged at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California, and the first tournament of the 2020 FedEx Cup playoffs, the Northern Trust, is being played this weekend at TPC Boston. That is an impressive collection. Equally as significant is how that division of the tour is thriving as it celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Designed largely by Pete and Alice Dye with significant impact from Beman, TPC Sawgrass was the first piece of that portfolio when it opened in the fall of 1980. Many industry observers, including a number of his tour professionals, considered it a risky venture.

Whatever you call it, the goal is the same: more people, playing more often, having more fun, and improving each facility’s bottom line. Isn’t that why we play the game, for the fun and friendship? Recall your first birdie, or that great round you had when you first broke 80 (or 90). Shouldn’t all golfers experience that feeling? We have seen the positive results when new tees are added, attracting new players and retaining current players. The old fears about male players being reluctant to move forward are fading away as the stigma of playing from “ladies’ tees” becomes a distant memory (as if ladies all play from the same set of tees, anyway!). This book takes you on a great journey, from the Two-Tee System first proposed by Alice Dye, ASGCA, to numerous examples of how today ASGCA members are working with facilities everywhere to help golfers play from a distance that aligns with their physical ability and skill level.
