The PGA Tour's own flagship at TPC Sawgrass, with the deepest field of the year and the largest purse outside the majors, played on a Pete Dye stadium course built expressly for spectators. The par-3 17th island green is the most recognisable hole in golf and swallows dozens of balls each week. Unlike the majors, this is a genuinely easy ticket, and the amphitheatre mounding means you can watch from a seated position all day.

How to attend

Tickets are sold openly at theplayers.com, with single-day grounds passes among the best-value in top-tier golf and 2027 sales opening to an email alert list. Active-duty and retired military and juniors accompanied by an adult typically enter free. Weekday practice rounds are the cheapest option and the only days you can walk the 17th surrounds without a crowd.

Insider tip

The stadium mounding around the island-green 17th is first-come and fills by mid-morning, so take the reverse route and walk the back nine first - you will reach 17 with the leaders while everyone else is still queuing at the 1st.
