No amateurs or exemptions, the 144-player field represents the strongest collection of players assembled each season. The competitor who hoists THE PLAYERS trophy knows that he has beaten the very best and cemented his place in history as a champion. THE PUREST TEST Pete Dye’s masterpiece – THE PLAYERS Stadium Course – favors no one, while demanding excellence from all. To triumph, the world’s best must bring a well-rounded game and execute under the very definition of pressure. The course tests every facet of the game and every club in the bag. Each hole has elements of risk, reward, drama and excitement. Visually intimidating, every shot requires precision, creativity and commitment. Great shots are rewarded, mistakes punished, and flaws magnified. THE DEFINING MOMENT A mere 137-yard shot is an unlikely start to the most recognized hole in golf. But the diabolical amphitheater that combines water, wind and intense pressure makes it the centerpiece of THE PLAYERS Stadium Course. Anticipation and suspense build throughout the day and culminate on that lonely walk from 16th green to 17th tee. One swing for the island green can crush aspirations or cement a championship. It is this decisive moment when players measure themselves against the best while huge galleries gather to witness history. THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE THE PLAYERS Championship was the first tournament conceived with the fan as its focal point. Viewing mounds were built into the original design, allowing spectators to see every hole while ensuring that they are in the middle of all the excitement and drama. THE PLAYERS continues to lead in embracing change to deliver the best experience in the modern game. Whether a specta- tor is there to watch the world’s best players or simply to enjoy all the amenities, THE PLAYERS Championship provides the highest expression of hospitality and entertainment and should be on every sports fan’s bucket list.
