Heading to the Players Championship? Don't Miss Jacksonville!

Heading to Ponte Vedre for the Players Championship?

Undercover Jetsetter analysis: Great event; Great track; so much more to digest; Go!

There are plenty of great vantage points at the TPC Sawgrass course to see a lot of golf. The layout is daunting and this tournament means a lot to tour players. Many of them see that as the unofficial fifth Major.

Even at the famous 17th Hole there are great vantage points to watch what could be the greatest par-3 in golf. Here is John’s look at the famous 17th hole during a Ryder Cup-type event he played in.

So, a trip to the Jacksonville area is worth it.
