Club Recommendations

For low handicappers, the key to success on this hole is distance off the tee. With a drive of 280+ yards, you should have no problem reaching the green in two shots and giving yourself a chance for birdie or even eagle. However, be cautious of the water that runs along the left side of the fairway and wraps around behind the green. A slight fade shot may be necessary to avoid it.

Mid handicap players should focus on accuracy over distance on this challenging par 4. With a drive averaging around 230+ yards, it's important to find the fairway and set yourself up for a manageable approach shot into this long green. Keep an eye out for any crosswinds that could push your ball towards trouble.

High handicappers should prioritize avoiding mistakes on this difficult hole. With an average drive of around 200+ yards, you may not have enough distance to reach the green in regulation. Instead, aim for a safe spot in the fairway and then play conservatively with your second shot to give yourself a good look at par.

In terms of club selection, keep in mind that TPC Sawgrass is located near sea level which can cause balls to fly slightly farther due to lower air density. Also consider how windy conditions may impact your shots as Sawgrass is known for its gusty winds coming off nearby ocean.

When approaching this large undulating green, note that there are only two bunkers guarding it - one short right and one long left - but they are relatively small compared to other greenside bunkers at TPC Sawgrass.

Overall, regardless of handicap level or tee box used, playing smart golf by avoiding hazards and taking advantage of favorable weather conditions will lead you towards success on this demanding finishing hole at TPC Sawgrass.
