00:03 >> Keith, let's take a look at the golf course itself.
00:05 All throughout the 90s when we started to get the video games with EA Sports here,
00:08 everybody wanted to play TPC Sawgrass because of the 17th hole.
00:12 Talk to anybody out there who doesn't understand what the course layout is in
00:16 Pontra Vedra there.
00:17 What is it about?
00:18 Is it lengthy?
00:19 Is it short? Is it hard?
00:19 What are some of the tougher holes that we can anticipate and
00:22 also that iconic 17th hole?
00:24 >> Well, one thing's for sure.
00:26 This is not one of the longest golf courses out there on the PGA Tour.
00:30 And the tour, their headquarters is right here.
00:32 They could change the golf course any way they want.
00:35 But Pete Dye's diabolical design tests you the whole way around.
00:40 It's gotta be one of the most visually intimidating golf courses out there for
00:43 these guys to compete on.
00:45 And none is more exemplifies that than the 17th hole.
00:50 I mean, when you think about it, the island green surrounded by water,
00:53 it was supposedly his wife's idea, Alice, to say, hey, why don't we do this?
00:58 It's the most polarizing finish in all of golf.
01:01 We absolutely love it when guys, they make eagle on 16,
01:05 they hit the eject button there on 17, 18.
01:08 We've seen some wild, wild scores with water up the left.
01:11 There's two things, Donnie, when it comes to the golf course this week,
01:14 I want all the bettors to really pay attention to.
01:17 This event was played in May for a long stretch, from 2007 to 2018.
01:23 We gotta throw that data, that statistics, that analysis out the window.
01:28 2019, we returned to a March start for this event.
01:33 And 2019 to 2023, look at the winners, Rory, JT, Cam Smith, Scotty, major winners.
01:41 This is a big time event when it's played in March.
01:44 And these guys, they know it's a tough test, and they're coming in ready.
01:49 And you saw a lot of good names there, API in great form.
