Championship Not only does it contain one of the most interesting golf courses in the sport – but it also boasts a unique form of play off that highlights three of its most exciting holes.
All four golf diplomas have a different form of Play off: Master It is a sudden death, the US Open uses a two -hole aggregate, the PGA championship a three -hole aggregate and a four -hole aggregate open.
The players, the Marquee event in the PGA Tour, uses the three-hole Play off, which it changed in 2014. They play par-5 16, par-3 and par-4 18. After that, if the extra holes are still needed, the sudden death waits, with the players going to 17, 18 and then 16, and again by order, until a winner is placed.
The tour only needs one play off in its history, but only one of them was with the new aggregate system. This happened, quite famous, in 2015, when Rickie Fowler Beat Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner.
Fowler and Kisner both went to Par-Birdie-Pa, but Garcia made three pars and was eliminated. In sudden death and playing the Par-3 17 icon, Fowler made Birdie in Kisner’s precursor to seeking the biggest victory of his career.
The format of the Play off at TPC Sawgrass’ stadium course It leaves many opportunities for drama. The 16th is a PAR-5 accessible, so the eagle is in the game, though there is water that lines the entire right side. The 17th is one of the most famous holes in Golf, and 18, with water that lines the entire left side, requires a precise machine and access.
