Tournament: The Players Championship, March 14-17, 2019
Course: TPC Sawgrass (Stadium), 7,189 yards, par 72.
Purse: $10,500,000
Defending Champion: Webb Simpson. The Broughton High School product (Raleigh, NC), via Wake Forest University, suddenly found his game that week and tied a course record Saturday (63) to give himself a nice cushion and the eventual victory. Simpson formerly used an “anchored putter”, and it took him a couple of years to get used to the used forbidding anchoring of a club to the players body. But he figured it out and captured the 2nd biggest win of his career.
