Not gonna lie, the Korn Ferry Tour is far from the most entertaining thing to watch, but what…read moreprofessional sports developmental league is? Practically speaking, the Korn Ferry Tour and lesser tours are great ways for still really, really good golfers to earn a living playing a sport they're good at. It also allows more golf courses around the country, plus the Bahamas and Central and South America, to host "PGA Tour" events (the Korn Ferry Tour is the top developmental tour for the PGA Tour). While hardly any of golf's superstars have played on the Korn Ferry Tour, there are still several players who've grinded their way through and ended up making a name/career for themselves on the PGA Tour. They include 1996 British Open champion and 2006 Ryder Cup captain Tom Lehman, 2009 British Open champion Stewart Cink, Chad Campbell (who has finished in the top 5 in three different majors), 2007 Masters and 2015 British Open champion Zach Johnson, and 2016 PGA Championship winner Jimmy Walker. There are also a bunch of relatively lesser-known players who've had success on the Korn Ferry Tour and have won tournaments on the PGA Tour. Recent examples include Sungjae Im (2020 Honda Classic champion), Wesley Bryan (2017 RBC Heritage champion), and Chez Reavie (winner of the 2008 RBC Canadian Open and 2019 Travelers Championship). In 2017 and 2018, the Korn Ferry Tour, then known as the Web.com Tour, made sports headlines when Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors played in the Ellie Mae Classic at TPC Stonebrae in the Bay Area (Hayward, California). Both years, he got in on sponsor exemptions, causing a little controversy, and both years, he missed the cut. He had a respectable showing in 2017, though, shooting 74 (+4) each of the first two days. Currently, there's a bit of controversy surrounding 2000 Masters champion and 1998 and 2004 PGA Championship winner Vijay Singh's decision to sign up to play in next month's Korn Ferry Challenge at TPC Sawgrass. Vijay is following the rules and in my opinion, he's earned the right to play in the tournament. Plus, it's not like he's circa-2000 Vijay about to come in and blow away the field. The Korn Ferry Tour began in 1990 and was known as the Ben Hogan Tour through 1992. Like tournaments, the tour's sponsors have changed over the years. The Tour was subsequently known as the Nike Tour (1993-99), the Buy.com Tour (2000-02), the Nationwide Tour (2003-11), and the aforementioned Web.com Tour (2012-18). Korn Ferry's deal as the title sponsor lasts through the 2029 season.

Like the old saying goes "it takes a lot of Balls to play like me" Really, a lot. I carry maybe 20-30 and sometimes have to borrow some from whomever I'm playing with. This course is so nice and the grass in immaculate and green and strong and the greens are always in perfect condition. The other big thing is that PVIGC has the very first island green ever. Anywhere. I do like the ocean course a little better but the island course is still very taxing for us amateurs.

It could turn a 380 yard par 4 in to a hard par 5! The front desk and bag people were very friendly. My only complaint came from one of their Marshall's, Skip. We waited on almost every hole for the front nine, the group in front was encouraged to play faster and they did. We played along the back nine at a good pace, never slowing the group behind us down at all...ever. So the Marshall approached us on the 18th tee and told us we were slow and we needed to speed up. Really? On the 18th tee? He could have been kind but he chose to be more a harsh jerk. Goes to show that one person can change the impression of a business.

They loved it! What I really love is that the facility is clean! Even on a busy Saturday the employees were vacuuming and keeping an eye on kids. The prices are so much more reasonable, about half the price of Urban Air. They have a small zipline, aerial walk, ball pits, so many slides!, trampolines, dodgeball court and so much more. They have party rooms in the back which is nice that they are in the back. I also like that they have drinks available, clean restrooms and plenty of places to sit and hang out while kids are playing. Parents can purchase socks to go up with kids and not have to pay if they are not playing. I will definitely take my nephew back when he is here.

Took the club out of my hand as I was about to swing my last ball. At least, give me a heads up. Then further talked down to me because I didn't know the jargon, even though I had mentioned that I'm starting from zero. Finally, pushed me to close a sale for 12 month lessons which I'm obviously smart enough to say no to. And then used that archaic sales technique "what do you have to think about?" This lesson was a birthday gift from my wife which should've made me happy, but the experience left a sour taste. I'm the paying customer here so you better be kind, patient, and polite to me. The receipt showed the duration as 1:30-3. I arrived at 1:30 and first several minutes were registration etc. Scott took the club away from me by 2:30. I was pushed out of the door by 2:55 Anyway, I know what my recommendation will be if one of my colleagues wanted to join GolfTec. Definitely not worth $100. Find a different trainer!!

As of 2021, it has the biggest purse ($15,000,000) and winner's share ($2,700,000) among all Tour events. Yes, the Tour Championship pays more. In 2019, the Tour Championship's "bonus pool" reached a record $70,000,000 with $15,000,000 going to the 1st place winner alone, but that money isn't considered official earnings by the Tour. Instead, it's considered FedExCup "bonus money." The Players Championship is often regarded as the "fifth major." It's a prestigious event that draws top-notch fields year in and year out. The event is owned and operated by the PGA Tour. It's held annually in March (previously May) at TPC Sawgrass where the Tour's national headquarters are located. TPC Sawgrass has two courses, the famous Players Stadium Course where this tournament takes place, and the lesser-known, but still great Dye's Valley course, designed by legendary course architect Pete Dye and Bobby Weed. The Players Stadium Course is unique and stunning, filled with numerous water hazards and large, long bunkers that run parallel to many of the fairways. Like the Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale where the Waste Management Phoenix Open is held and Augusta National Golf Club where the Masters is held, The Players Stadium Course was designed with spectators in mind. The par-3 17th hole island green is one of the most iconic in golf. The course has appeared in several video games, most notably EA Sports' PGA Tour. Oh yeah and the clubhouse? Talk about one of the most beautiful and grandiose in golf. The Players Stadium Course is also made for TV. The TV coverage, which has been handled by NBC and Golf Channel in recent years, is second only to CBS and the Masters, in my opinion. I'm sure it has to do with the Tour's complete involvement with this course and event. Like the Masters, in addition to limited commercial interruptions, coverage of The Players includes better-than-average shot tracking and statistics and video-game-like 3D models of the greens for enhanced analysis. Many of golf's biggest names and greatest players have won this event. Congratulations to the latest Players champion, Justin Thomas, who won this year (2021). I've never seen JT so emotional after a win than after he won The Players this year. Some of my favorite players to win in the past decade include Jason Day (2016), Rickie Fowler (2015), Tiger Woods (2013), and Matt Kuchar (2012 - Go Jackets!). Rory McIlroy (2019), Webb Simpson (2018), Sergio Garcia (2008), and Phil Mickelson (2007) have also won. Jack Nicklaus has the most wins (3) followed by Fred Couples, Steve Elkington, Hal Sutton, Davis Love III, and Tiger (all tied at 2 each). However, Jack's three victories occurred before the tournament moved to TPC Sawgrass in 1982. I will end this review with two memorable moments at The Players on 17. In 2015, Kuch chipped one-handed with his back to the green: https://twitter.com/PGATOUR/status/1369634412778954758. In 2019, Kevin Na walked his putt in and Tiger followed suit: https://twitter.com/PGATOUR/status/1369276659300524032.
