Each Tournament Players Club embodies the trademark ofexcellence first established with the flagship TPC at Sawgrass, which openedits world-famous Stadium Course in the fall of 1980 in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.This commitment to overall excellence serves as the foundation for thenetwork’s overall success.The TPC network was born through former PGA TOUR CommissionerDeane Beman’s desire to provide TOUR players with quality golf courses thatalso would offer spectators enhanced viewing areas. Beman also reasonedthat development of quality facilities would alleviate the TOUR’s dependencyTournament Players Clubson the television dollar, while providing rent-free venues for tournaments. Thesavings in rent, in turn, would generate both increased purses and greatercharitable contributions by the tournaments held at TPCs.The TPC at Sawgrass was the first Tournament Players Club to hold aPGA TOUR event, becoming the permanent home of THE PLAYERSChampionship in 1982. In 2003, 15 tournaments were conducted on TPCcourses, bringing the total number of PGA TOUR, Champions Tour andNationwide Tour events held at TPC facilities to 220.Many of the top golf course architects are connected with TournamentPlayers Club projects, including Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, JackNicklaus, Gary Player, Arthur Hills, Jay Morrish, Tom Weiskopf, Greg Norman,Bob Von Hagge and D.A.
