FOR THE BEST IN GOLF TURN TO NBC FOR PREMIER PGA COVERAGE

Each year NBC tees off its golf coverage with the PGA Tour's "Southern Swing," which begins with the Ford Championship from the Doral Golf Resort in Miami on the first weekend in March. From there, back-to-back stops at the Honda Classic and the Bay Hill Invitational Presented by Cooper Tires lead into one of the richest and most demanding tournaments of the year: The Players Championship, which is held at the famous TPC at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. TPC Sawgrass is home of the vexing 17th "island green" hole, which regularly injects a dose of drama into The Players Championship.
