The PGA TOUR's signature event, The Players Championship, tees off this week at the legendary TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Verde, Florida. XM Satellite Radio's PGA TOUR Network (ch 146) will air live play-by-play coverage of The Players - May 10th to May 13th - from 12 noon to 7pm ET each day.
Preview coverage starts today at 2pm ET live from Sawgrass (hey wait, that's right now).
When fans arrive at Sawgrass May 11-13, they can pick up a complimentary XM radio for the day to hear The Players broadcast (ask for Marie, she'll be there). The first one thousand spectators to sign up at the XM booths each day can listen to a portable XM radio for no charge. This is all part of XM's Fan Enhancement Program, which allows fans to listen to the action free of charge and receive special pricing on products/service.
If you happen to be in the NYC area, go check out Rockefeller Plaza. The PGA TOUR has built a replica of the 17th hole at Sawgrass (pictured) in the middle of Rockefeller to promote The Players.
You can grab a club and take a shot at the 1/4 scale replica through May 17th. But don't worry if you miss - the 17th at Sawgrass is notorious for being one of the toughest holes in golf.
