Just to prove how difficult the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass is, only two of the five players below have lived up to the challenge and received the honor of being a PLAYERS Champion. Each year, the world's best golfers head to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida to take part in the purest test in golf, THE PLAYERS Championship.

In 1982, THE PLAYERS Championship was played on the Stadium Course for the first time. It was the first ever course built with the golf fan in mind, while challenging even the worlds greatest golfers. Although the course has changed in many ways since 1982, the golfers who participated in the that tournament still remember how difficult it was.

Fred Couples, one of the greats, states, "It was so unbelievably intimidating that I don't think I played very well. But in 1984, I happened to win. But in 1982, it was just every shot had to be hit really, really precise. There was a lot of water, a lot of waist bunkers, a lot of difficult shots. But I love it. I've won it twice and I still love watching it because anything can happen. It's an amazing course."
