00:00It's the Players' Championship. It's a rite of passage. The fifth unofficial major, we should say.

00:05But tell us about this iconic golf course and how it looks to play this week, Keith.

00:10Well, Donnie, I mean, TPC Sawgrass is in exquisite, magnificent condition this week.

00:16You know, we got a little rain to start the week on Monday, Sunday night into Monday,

00:20just enough to soften the surfaces. But right now, they have this place peaking for the week.

00:25And, you know, it's one of those places, like Augusta National, where we are at the same venue every year.

00:30And PGA Tour headquarters is right here. They can play with the golf course all year long,

00:35and they have it right where they want it to be.

00:37It is going to play a lot like Bay Hill last week, where it started out a little bit soft as the week started.

00:43And then as the week went on, you could see it get crustier and crustier.

00:46By Sunday afternoon, just the guys won't be the only ones feeling the heat.

00:50The golf course is going to be firm and fast, and it's going to play out exactly the way they want to.

00:55And you know what? Pete Dye's test here that they've used since 1982, it's really stood the test of time.

01:00The average winning score here since they moved back to March in 2019, it's 16 under par.

01:07It's a fun winning score. It's not like a beat up major winning score like we saw last week at Bay Hill.

01:13I think this week is going to be extremely entertaining, Donnie.
