THE PLAYERS Championship annually combines the best field in golf with the world-class venue that is THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. THE PLAYERS contributes to a diverse group of charities throughout Northeast Florida, living by the PGA TOUR's mission to give back to the communities in which it plays. Since 1977, when THE PLAYERS moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., more than $28 million has been contributed to Northeast Florida charities, ranging from health care to youth and education to human services.

The 2007 PLAYERS tournament raised $2.8 million dollars for local charitable organizations. This effort continues to prove that golf is the official sport of giving back. JELDWEN, UBS and PricewaterhouseCoopers are the exclusive Proud Partners of THE PLAYERS.
