$25 Million to Renovate TPC-Sawgrass

According to ESPN.com the TCP at Sawgrass will undergo renovations costing an estimated $25 million. Plans involve changes to the stands on the 16th, 17th, and 18th holes, a new water drainage system, and new technology around the course. Technology improvements would include video screens around the course as well as a radio system for fans to listen to the action (maybe XM since they broadcast the PGA Tour).

Hopefully, it translates to a tournament that all of our tournaments can look at as a model, and that’s where the bar is set in terms of fan experience, player experience and sponsor experience.

  1. Are you kidding me? $25 million dollars? What are their ending expectations of Sawgrass? U.S. Open, British, PGA? That’s a whole lot of cash. On the other hand, it is a pretty kick ass course. Where they going to find the cash for that?
