The Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, site of the 2025 Players Championship on the PGA Tour, was designed by architect Pete Dye with plenty of input from his wife, Alice. The layout in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, opened in 1980 and has been home to the tournament since 1982.

Each year, the PGA Tour estimates some 100,000 golf balls find their way into the water surrounding the green at the 17th at TPC Sawgrass. It works out to a couple of balls per golfer. The pros competing in The Players Championship contribute very little to that tally.
