The AT&T National Live 2012 at Congressional Country Club, Bethesda

 

 

at Congressional Country Club, Bethesda

 

The AT&T National is a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour in the Washington D.C. area. Held during the Fourth of July weekend, the event is hosted by Tiger Woods and benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation. The first AT&T National was held July 5–8, 2007, at the Blue Course of the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland. The event returned to Congressional in 2008 and 2009 and has been held midway between the U.S. Open and the British Open to ensure a strong field of competitors.

Nick Watney is the defending champion, winning in 2011 with a score of −13.

The event was officially announced on March 7, 2007, to replace The International, which tour officials had abruptly cancelled on February 8, 2007. The AT&T National does not use the modified Stableford scoring system used by The International in Colorado.

The D.C. area hosted a regular tour event for over a quarter century. The Booz Allen Classic arrived in 1980 but was terminated after the 2006 event. Originally named the Kemper Open, it was played at Congressional from 1980–86, then moved to the nearby TPC at Avenel in 1987. Congressional hosted the tournament in 2005, while Avenel was undergoing renovations.

Congressional originally agreed to host the event for the first two years, and after opting out of hosting the 2009 U.S. Amateur, agreed to host the event in 2009 as well.[4][5] The Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania hosted the 2010 and 2011 events, due to Congressional being reconfigured for the 2011 U.S. Open.[6] The tournament is scheduled to return to Congressional from 2012 to 2014.

Other courses that were originally considered for the new tournament were in the Kansas City, Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and Portland areas. Possible sites for the 2010 and 2011 events were the TPC at Avenel in neighboring Potomac (former site of the Booz Allen Classic) and Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia, (four-time host of the Presidents Cup).

CBS and Golf Channel carry the AT&T National, which is the third event on the PGA Tour to be sponsored by the telecommunications giant. The others are the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and the AT&T Classic (formerly the BellSouth Classic).

 

 

 

The AT&T Nations is the next event coming up on the PGA Tour. This one happens in Bethesda, Maryland, at the Congressional Country Club and will happen from the 28th of June to the 1st of July. The defending champion for this tournament is Nick Watney and he walked away with $1,116,000 last year. This year, the same amount is up for grabs out of a huge $6,500,000 purse. The tournament is also worth 500 FedEx Cup points. Next up on the PGA Tour, the Greenbrier Classic, which is from July 5th through the 8th at the Old White TPC in West Virginia.

Previously on the PGA Tour, the Traveler's Championship was held, June 21st through the 24th at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, with a six million dollar purser that Marc Leishman took a big chunk of. He got 500 FedEx Cup points and a check for $1,080,000 last year. The field this year consists of Hunter Haas and Blake Adams as well as Lucas Glover, D.A. Points, John Huh and Angel Cabrera. Others include Ricky Barnes, Trevor Immelman and Heath Slocum as well as Rory Sabbatini, Dicky Pride and Stewart Cink.

Click Here To Watch The THE PLAYERS Championship Live

 

 

 

The Players Championship (often styled as THE PLAYERS Championship or The PLAYERS) is an annual golf tournament on the PGA Tour.

Originally known as the Tournament Players Championship, the inaugural event in 1974 was played at Atlanta Country Club in Marietta, Georgia before moving to the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas in 1975 and Inverrary Country Club in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1976. Beginning in 1977, the event relocated to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, first being played at Sawgrass Country Club's Oceanside Course (a combination of the "East" and "West" 9-hole courses). Since 1982 it has been played across the road from Sawgrass Country Club, on the Stadium Course at the "Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass" (usually referred to as the TPC at Sawgrass). It is not uncommon for "TPC" in this context to be conflated with "The Players Championship" because they happen to have the same initials – in fact, this confusion was the reason why the tournament's original name was shortened to just "Players Championship" prior to the 1988 event, although some confusion between the two still persists occasionally.

The Players Championship offers the highest prize fund of any tournament in golf ($8 million 2004–06, $9 million in 2007, $9.5 million in 2008), and is sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Major," but it does not have official major status. The field usually includes the top 50 golfers in the world rankings, but unlike the three majors which are staged in the United States, it does not count as an official event on the European Tour. The winner receives a fixed allocation of 80 points towards his Official World Golf Ranking, which is the most allocated to any event apart from the majors, in which winners earn 100 points. For comparison, the winners of the three individual World Golf Championships held during the PGA Tour regular season generally receive between 70 and 78 points.[1] The Players Championship also receives a 5-year exemption on the PGA Tour, a three-year invitation to the Masters Tournament, three-year exemptions for The Open Championship and for the U.S. Open, and an exemption to the PGA Championship for that year.

The Players Championship can be further distinguished from the "Majors" in that it is owned and administered by the PGA Tour. In contrast, The Masters is owned by the Augusta National Golf Club; the U.S. Open by the United States Golf Association (USGA); The Open Championship by The R&A, an offshoot of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews; and the PGA Championship by the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA of America).

The Players Championship is best known for what may be the single most recognizable par 3 in professional golf, the Stadium Course's 17th hole, known to golf fans worldwide as "the Island Green" and what has become TPC Sawgrass' signature hole. The final three holes are considered one of the toughest finishes in golf.

The Players Championship had been played in late March for most of its existence, two weeks before The Masters. In 2007 it was moved to mid-May, as part of a restructuring of the PGA Tour. This restructuring involved the introduction of the lucrative FedEx Cup, which concludes with The Tour Championship, now played six weeks earlier, in mid-September. This gives the PGA Tour a marquee event in six consecutive months (The Masters in April, The Players in May, the U.S. Open in June, the Open Championship in July, the PGA Championship in August, and the Tour Championship in September). [1]

Following the 2006 event, the course underwent a major renovation, which received very positive reviews from the players in 2007. Included in the renovation was a new 77,000 square-foot (7153 m²) Mediterranean Revival-style clubhouse.

With the rearrangement of 2007, the final round of The Players Championship is scheduled for the second Sunday of May, Mother's Day. This parallels the U.S. Open, which concludes on the third Sunday of June, Father's Day.

 

This week on the PGA Tour, the Player's Championship will be held at the TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The purse for this incredible tournament is huge, totaling $9,500,000, and it will be held from May 10th to the 13th. It is worth $1,710,000 to the winner and 600 FedEx Cup points are also up for grabs. K.J. Choi won this tournament last year, and the tournament prior to this one this year was won by Rickie Fowler. Coming up next on the calendar, the HP Byron Nelson Championship, at the TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving, Texas.

Besides the tournaments listed, the PGA Tour will also be making stops in Dublin, Ohio and in Fort Worth, Texas during the month of May. The field this year consists of Aaron Baddeley, Carl Pettersson, Scott Piercy and Peter Hanson. Johnathan Byrd will also be playing in this tournament along with names like Justin Rose, Trevor Immelman and Charles Howell III. Padraig Harrington is also playing in this event along with Michael and Keegan Bradley, Matt Bettencourt, Adam Scott, Robert Karlsson and Stewart Cink.
