What’s the scariest tee shot at TPC Sawgrass during the Players Championship? You might be surprised.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Every year when the Players Championship arrives, the signature hole, the par-3 17^th known as the island green, gets star treatment heading into the PGA Tour’s flagship event that lures nearly all of the game’s headliners.

In promos over the years, the hole’s chilling history of calamity is highlighted with one replay after another of players dunking their fortunes in the water. Yes, classic triumphs including Tiger Woods’ better-than-most putt have been in the spots, but mostly, the misery of the balls that didn’t find land and the terrifying nature of the short hole are featured.

“You see more water than grass,” Tony Finau says in the latest ad promoting the 2022 Players. “It messes with your head.”
