Tournament Players Club
American chain of private and public golf courses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tournament Players Club (TPC) is an American chain of public and private golf courses operated by the PGA Tour. Most of the courses either are or have been hosts for PGA Tour events, with the remainder having frequently hosted events on the Korn Ferry Tour or PGA Tour Champions. In 2020, Harding Park became the first TPC course to host a major when it hosted the PGA Championship.

The flagship Tournament Players Club for the PGA Tour is TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, designed in 1980 and now the headquarters of the PGA Tour. TPC courses are designed to accommodate the large crowds attracted to high-profile tournaments. One of the drivers for the development of the chain by the PGA Tour is that by holding tournaments on its own courses, it avoids sharing the proceeds with external course owners.
In 2007, the PGA Tour reached an agreement with Heritage Golf Group for the sale of four TPC courses; TPC Eagle Trace, TPC Michigan, TPC Piper Glen, and TPC Prestancia. Although they would be owned and operated by Heritage Golf Group, all would retain their TPC branding.[1] In February 2008, TPC Tampa Bay became the fifth course to be bought by Heritage Golf Group, also retaining its TPC branding under a licensing agreement.[2] In 2022, TPC River's Bend was purchased by Arcis Golf, with the club continuing as a TPC licensed property.[3]
