Travelogue
Yes, you will spend most of the round at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course anticipating the tee shot on the famed par-3 17th with its island green, where more than 120,000 balls find a watery grave every year. (Birdie it and then recreate Tiger’s first televised fist pump, which happened there during his 1994 U.S. Amateur win.) But there’s more than just that iconic hole. The tee shot on 18 is intimidating in its own right, as are the tightly mown chipping areas around many greens. With water on every hole, Dye’s Valley course, right next door, is also no pushover. The PGA Tour Performance Center, managed by GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher Todd Anderson, is a sleek facility with all the latest game-improvement technology. Hear behind-the-scenes TPC info and tournament history from storytellers who lead free tours through the 77,000-square-foot clubhouse. Or make the less than two-minute ride back to the Marriott and its spa, which provides a peaceful oasis from the hotel’s bustling central atrium.
