Posted

Tournament officials recently announced tickets for THE PLAYERS Championship are now on sale.

The strongest field in golf returns to TPC Sawgrass to kick off the Season of Championships, March 10-15, 2020.

“THE PLAYERS Championship should be on every sports fan’s bucket list, and we are continuously working to elevate the experience each and every year,” Executive Director Jared Rice said. “Those efforts have paid off, as we anticipate reaching capacity at this coming year’s event. With that in mind, we’ll be implementing several changes to our ticketing process in order to ensure the best on-site experience for our fans and continue to increase our impact on the Northeast Florida community.” 

New items for the 2020 tournament include:

Mobile only and day-specific tickets: The event will move exclusively to mobile-only for all tickets, including day-specific Stadium Pass tickets. Issuing day-specific passes will allow the event to better anticipate attendance for each day and to deliver the experience fans have come to expect at THE PLAYERS. Tickets can be purchased exclusively online at www.THEPLAYERS.com.

Tickets available are:

● Day-specific Stadium Pass: THE PLAYERS Stadium Pass is unlike any other general admission ticket in sports, providing access to nearly 20 venues, numerous local food and beverage options, rope-side access to the best players in the world and much more.

● Tuesday – Military Appreciation Day tickets will go on sale at a later date.

● Wednesday – $25

● Thursday-Sunday – Ranging between $65-$70.

● Day-specific Captain’s Club: Ticketholders will experience a premium club space with views of the 16th and 18th holes at TPC Sawgrass. Beer, wine and soda are all-inclusive and food is available for purchase. Soft seating, full bar, televisions and outdoor viewing creates an exciting environment to experience THE PLAYERS.

Other hospitality options including the Benefactor, the Turn and THE PLAYERS Club are selling fast, but are currently available at www.THEPLAYERS.com/hospitality.html.

■ Military – THE PLAYERS will continue to provide all career military (active duty, reserve, military retirees and dependents) with complimentary admission to the tournament all week, as well as discounted admission for veterans. Fans should visit www.THEPLAYERS.com to get verified.

■ Youth Policy – Youth 15-and-under can attend for free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. As in the past, there is no limit to the number of youth that can enter free of charge with a ticketed adult.

■ Parking – Parking is expected to sell out, so fans are urged to purchase their daily passes in advance of the event, and parking is NOT sold on site.

● On-site parking costs vary by day (Tuesday and Wednesday: $15 per day; Thursday-Sunday: $40 per day).

● THE PLAYERS will continue to provide fans with a limited number of free parking passes if they carpool with four or more people. These passes must be reserved online and are only available while supplies last.

● THE PLAYERS will again partner with Uber to further enhance the rideshare experience, and more parking info (bikes, golf cart, etc.) can be found at THE PLAYERS Plan your visit information page.

Also announced recently, THE PLAYERS’ Chip in for Youth ticket program has launched. Through the program, any local youth-related charitable organizations or schools have the opportunity to promote the sale of discounted, $55 day-specific tickets to THE PLAYERS 2020 (competition round tickets regularly start at $65). For each ticket sold, $30 will be donated directly back to the organization. The remaining net proceeds, after fees, will be donated to The First Tee, a nonprofit golf organization focused on teaching life skills through the game of golf. 

THE PLAYERS has created a bonus pool for the top-three organizations that sell the most tickets, with a $10,000 bonus for first place, $5,000 for second place and, new in 2020, a $2,500 prize for third place.  To participate, youth-related organizations can register at www.chipinforyouth.com. This year’s program runs through February 28, 2020.
