Course preparation at TPC Sawgrass

Before the sun rises, TPC Sawgrass is getting set for THE PLAYERS Championship. PGA TOUR Rules & Competition gives an in-depth look at what goes on each morning before play to create the truest test on the PGA TOUR.


THE PLAYERS Championship returns to TPC Sawgrass after 2020’s unprecedented cancellation after the first round due to the emerging coronavirus pandemic. Dustin Johnson - the reigning FedExCup champion and current World No. 1 - leads a field that includes 27 of the top 30 in the current FedExCup standings and 47 of the World’s top 50. With no champion crowned last year, Rory McIlroy - who would go on to win the FedExCup for the second time after winning THE PLAYERS in 2019 - will look to defend his title from two years ago. In total there will be 108 PGA TOUR winners teeing it up at TPC Sawgrass, but who will emerge victorious?

Amazing how much effort goes in, what we dont see.

This is the hard work we don’t see props to you man

I worked there in 1994. I retired from the Navy and thought i would become a golf course supt. Lucked out and got a greens keeping job there. To see if I would like it. Played both courses for free. Found out working and playing your hobby didn’t work for me. Quit after 4 months. It’s a classy course. Glad I had the opportunity, I appreciate what they do to prep the course. In 93 when Nick Price won he gave all the course greens keepers a $100 tip.

Really though, no one's gonna talk about his putting?

So they mark the hole location the round before. So players and caddies can check it out and make plans for the next round of each hole if they smart

Can't say I'm not a little envious 😊

[qbb]

This is my first month working on a golf course and so far i'm enjoying it. Would be cool to work on a course like this one day.

Great video! Just very unfortunate that the moisture meter was broken when they prepared green #17 for round 1 ;-/

[PulseAM]

I'm going back to school to learn to be a roller! That guy has "the" job!

[bluepandaman]

Kudos to the team doing the actual work, superintendent and staff.

Just nice to see people happy with their jobs.

[justinssleeyt]

Excellent video! Seeing the behind-the-scenes makes me appreciate the game even more.

[John......]

The most exciting thing about golf is that roller machine

[demacherius]

I would love to see more contend like that. Also his putting is amazing.

[chosenone]

Better than most doesnt matter anymore with brand new greens and different turf

[aidanlese]

Yeah this seems stressful and all but have you ever prepared a course for member-member week or jamboree (Milwaukee Country Club) (Top 100 Golf Course). We grab A buddy and a string trimmer and trim native on hole 8 and there are big spiders. Also sometimes i Worry if the members really appreciate our work. Do you agree PGA? Do I do enough?
