The PGA's return of the Florida swing and why it matters

The Florida Swing is a thing again. After two years of being interrupted by a trip to Mexico, the Sunshine State has retaken its place as a four-tournament run of events as the Masters draws closer. And now, the Players Championship is again part of the lineup.

A few things to consider as Bermuda grass, overseed, palm trees and an abundance of sand and water become part of the golf lexicon over the next month:

The Lineup

  • Honda Classic, Feb. 28-March 3, PGA National, Palm Beach Gardens

  • Arnold Palmer Invitational, March 7-10, Bay Hill Club, Orlando

  • Players Championship, March 14-17, TPC-Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra Beach

  • Valspar Championship, March 21-24, Innisbrook Resort, Palm Harbor

Quick History
