MAIN Recreation Sports Golf Players Championship 2010

A major highlight of the PGA Tour, the Players Championship is the richest tournament of the year with the strongest and deepest field -— including 50 of the the world's top golfers competing for the $1 million-plus prize at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Golf fans know the course best for its infamous 137-yard 17th hole - better known as the "Island Green" - which historically raises the blood pressure of even the coolest players.
