Located at the headquarters of the PGA Tour in Pontevedra Beach, Florida, TPC Sawgrass was built by the PGA Tour in 1980 as a professional tour course and is a prestigious golf course that hosts the Players Championship every year.
The PGA Tour abolished the Qualifying School at the end of 2012 and changed the path to the PGA Tour to the Korn Ferry Tour, a second-tier tour.
Detailed guidelines such as the schedule of the qualifying school have not yet been finalized, but it is known that some courses at nearby Sawgrass Country Club are not enough for 170 participating players to compete at once.
In an email to members, Sawgrass Country Club explained, “The 18-hole course will be closed for about six days in December. However, the remaining nine holes will remain open. The PGA Tour will pay enough rent.”
