Since its start in 1974, with Jack Nicklaus' victory over J.C. Snead, THE PLAYERS Championship has been one of the PGA TOUR's most coveted titles. In 1982 it was moved to its permanent home at The TPC Sawgrass and it never looked back.
From Jerry Pate's tossing Pete Dye into the lake at hole 18 to Tiger's 2001 break-through victory... the event has set the stage for PGA TOUR drama.
2009:Henrik Stenson
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Henrik Stenson was famous for reasons he never imagined. Two months ago, he was best known as the Swede who stripped down to nothing but his underwear and a golf glove while playing from a water hazard at Doral. Out of curiosity, he searched the Internet and found 143 articles, more news than he ever got for his game. "I guess I got as much attention off that thing as from my results the last 10 years," he said.
His golf was all the rage Sunday at THE PLAYERS Championship. With a final round that was close to perfect, Stenson was the only player to keep bogeys off his card on his way to a 6-under 66 that gave him a four-shot victory, the 10th title of his career -- second on TOUR -- and by far his biggest.
