The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, the annual site of the Players Championship, changed how tournament golf courses were designed. In the late 1970s, PGA Tour commissioner Deane Beman bought a soggy tract of Florida forest for $1 and sought to carry out his vision for a "stadium golf course." He hired architect Pete Dye for the project, and Dye delivered a wild, diabolical course that was initially scorned by the pros. Since then, the Stadium Course has abandoned many of its stadium-like earthworks and rugged aesthetics. The strategic character of Dye's design remains, however, and TPC Sawgrass is still one of the most interesting and exciting venues on the PGA Tour.
