The Players Championship Returns to Ponte Vedra Next Week

St. Augustine, Fla. (March 7, 2024) – Since 1974, THE PLAYERS Championship has wowed audiences with the best golfers in the world. Now in its fiftieth year, THE PLAYERS returns to Ponte Vedra Beach March 12 through March 17 with one of the most formidable rounds on the pro circuit.

Competing at THE PLAYERS Championship are the most impressive golfers playing today. The tournament has had numerous notable winners thanks to the high-profile and challenging course. To be one of the 144 golfers invited to compete, athletes must qualify by meeting certain criteria set to ensure the cream of the crop hits the links. 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. Last year’s PLAYERS was won by Scottie Scheffler, who triumphed in a 3-under 69 to win the richest prize on the PGA TOUR by five shots.

Scottie Schaffer will return next week to defend his title, along with previous champions Justin Thomas, Webb Simpson, Si Woo Kim, and Rory McIlroy with the hopes of becoming a multi-year champion. Tiger Woods has two Players Championship titles to his name, while Jack Nicklaus is the only three-time winner. No returning player has ever repeated a back-to-back champion in the history of the tournament, with nine defending champions failing to make the cut in their title defense.

The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, designed by famed golf course architect Pete Dye, favors no particular style of play, bringing golfers back to the true technique and strategy of the game. It’s a balanced course best known for its iconic Island Green on the 17th. The hole is notoriously difficult, with it once seeing 50 balls lost to the water in a single round in 2007.

Unlike many other courses, the Stadium Course’s design considers the spectator experience and can accommodate 36,000 fans. The course offers superb visibility, easy navigation, and covered bleachers with comfortable seating overlooking game-defining holes like the 10th, 12th, 13th and 16th. Additional venues offer upgraded seating, beverage service, and more.

The Deck offer an ideal vantage point of the approach shots into the 16th and 18th holes and is the perfect place to entertain. The Island Suite, a smaller version of the PLAYERS Marquee, offers lounge seating, an inclusive upscale menu, personalized company branding, customizable alcohol options and a personal attendant, with a prime location on Holes 16 or 17. And, overlooking the 16th fairway and green, the Championship Club, presented by Lexus, is the perfect location to entertain clients or have an intimate PLAYERS experience with friends and family.

Admission and parking tickets are still available and must be purchased in advance. On Tuesday and Wednesday (March 12 & 13), admission starts at $30. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday admissions are $90-$100. Throughout the week, each adult ticket admits two youths ages 15 and under for free.
