THE PLAYERS Championship returns to TPC Sawgrass, March 10-15, and as fans make plans to attend the area’s biggest sporting and social event of the year, families with children can rest assured that they will enjoy themselves, too.
Through March 1, THE PLAYERS is selling a Family Plan package to give families attending the tournament the most affordable – and memorable – experience possible.
THE PLAYERS Family Plan package, available at THEPLAYERS.com/tickets, costs $130 per day on Thursday or Sunday and $140 on Friday or Saturday (plus tax) and includes:
■ Two Stadium Passes (grounds passes)
■ Two $10 concession vouchers (redeemable at all general concession stands and the nearly 20 food partners on site)
“Everything about this course and this tournament was designed with our fans in mind, from the stadium-style seating, to the outside-the-ropes experiences and venues, to the local food and beverage offerings,” said THE PLAYERS Executive Director Jared Rice. “There’s something for everyone at THE PLAYERS, and golf is a sport the whole family can play, watch and enjoy. Bring your kids here, and we promise you’ll leave with plenty of stories, memories, autographs and pictures of your kids with their favorite pros.”
Families are reminded that THE PLAYERS allows children 15 and under to attend for free when accompanied by a ticketed adult. This is consistent with the PGA TOUR’s youth admissions policy. As in the past, there is no limit to the number of children who can enter free of charge with a ticketed adult.
Parking passes must be purchased separately and are now required Tuesday through Sunday. All parking passes are daily passes and must be purchased online in advance via THEPLAYERS.com/parking. Tuesday and Wednesday parking costs $15 per day and Thursday-Sunday costs $40 per day. Parking will not be sold on-site. As in years past, THE PLAYERS will offer fans free parking passes if they carpool with four or more people. These passes are limited and must be downloaded in advance. Rideshare will continue to be one of the easiest modes of transportation, with drop off and pick up located at the Couples Entry off of ATP Boulevard, steps from the 15th hole at TPC Sawgrass.
Here are other key things to know before attending THE PLAYERS with your family:
■ Bag policy: Opaque bags measuring 6-by-6-by-6 inches and smaller or clear bags 12-by-6-by-12 inches and smaller are allowed inside the course grounds.
■ Outside food: THE PLAYERS allows fans to bring in a 1-gallon clear, plastic bag of food items wrapped in clear wrap.
■ Refill stations: Fans can refill their empty water bottles at the filtered water stations throughout the course. This policy does not allow fans to bring in outside water bottles and/or beverages.
■ Strollers: Strollers, small diaper bags, plastic baby bottles and other essential baby supplies are permitted. The infant must be with the carrier. Items are subject to search.
■ Family Care Suite presented by Baptist Health: When it’s time to change a diaper or nurse your child, visit the Family Care Suite presented by Baptist Health, a private, air-conditioned venue that serves as a comfort station for parents.
■ Military members and veterans: Military members, veterans and their families are invited to experience the Birdies for the Brave Patriots’ Outpost presented by United Rentals. At this military-exclusive hospitality venue, attendees can enjoy complimentary food and beverages while enjoying the tournament action from some of the best seats on the course.
