Dry Weather May Make Florida Golf Course TPC Fast
It has been a dry winter in Florida, especially in the Ponte Vedra Beach area where The Players Championship will be contested for the 25th year at the TPC at Sawgrass Florida Golf Course.
Only 4.9 inches of rain has fallen on the Florida golf course since January. That's in stark contrast to last year's tournament, during which 2.6 inches fell. That gives the tournament a real chance to play as it was designed: hard and fast.
Little rain is forecast the rest of the week, meaning players will have a concern they've rarely faced in years past: hitting the fairways in positions on this Florida golf course that will not allow the ball to bounce and run into the deep, gnarly rough. "If we get firm conditions, it's going to open the tournament up to a lot more guys," said Nick Price, who won the Players in 1993 on this Florisa golf course.
