PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – A recent PGA Tour player poll on Golf.com ranked TPC Sawgrass, home of The Players, as the fourth-worst course on the circuit, just behind the likes of Torrey Pines North, Las Colinas and Trump Puerto Rico.
The Stadium Course may have received 5 percent of the vote, but don’t expect Chris Stroud to agree with that assessment.
“I cannot believe that,” Stroud said on Friday. “It’s one of the best tests of golf there is. How can they say that?
“I’ve been out here a long time, I think I know what a good golf course is and I think it’s incredibly great.
