The Tournament Players Club network, which includes 23 facilities (some still in development) across the U.S. , has been a wildly successful venture for the PGA TOUR. These courses, maintained to the highest quality, serve as tournament sites and are complemented by quality practice facilities for TOUR members.

"We are meeting the mission we set out for the TPCs as the best golf courses and facilities you will find anywhere," said PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem. "They were intended to create venues for tournaments where we can effectively reach the marketplace. The golf courses are built to hold modern golf tournaments, which are always presenting new challenges as they grow and the game becomes more popular. Of course, they achieve many other objectives."

Tournaments Players Clubs have been a boon to the game by offering an ideal -– not to mention idyllic –- opportunity for those who love and play the game to enjoy golf in optimum opulence. Whether private clubs, daily fee courses or resort venues, TPC courses present a unique value to the general golf public.

"There's a magic to playing on a golf course that hosts a PGA TOUR event," said Vernon Kelly, president of PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties, Inc., a subsidiary of the PGA TOUR, which owns and/or operates TPC facilities, clubs and licensed facilities. "That's a huge advantage for us in growth and marketing. We can offer a special experience, and then deliver on that promise with a great golf course that is well maintained and a club that is first-rate."

Tournament Players Clubs are an important element to the overall strategy of the TOUR to provide value for players, tournaments, fans and corporate sponsors. By providing rent-free venues for tournaments over the past 27 years, TPCs have provided more than $50 million in savings. That has helped boost purses, but more importantly, has increased charitable donations.

"Every time an event moves to a TPC, it improves the quality of the event, its growth and the charity dollars," Kelly said. "The track record speaks for itself." It's a track record that is unparalleled in golf course development. It's a track record that is at once exclusive, because of its quality, and yet inclusive, because of its benefits.

Whether it is a PGA TOUR, Champions Tour or Nationwide Tour event, the TPC Network is the world's home for professional golfers. We invite you to experience the magic for yourself or watch the events unfold on TV as week after week, the best golfers in the world put their games to the test at the Tournament Players Clubs.
