Hard to believe it was 21 years ago !!
Still have an abundance of vivid & fond memories, to include the 3-2-4 finish.
In 2002, Craig Perks stepped on the 16th tee at Sawgrass one shot behind. He then chipped in for eagle on 16, holed a snake for birdie on 17 and chipped in on 18 to win by 2. One of the best finishes ever at The Players! 🙌🇳🇿

In all honesty, what was most shocking about this conclusion to me, was accepting the trophy from Tiger Woods.
Why. Not. Me!

That’s such a shame
One of the best perks of being a member of Canadian or LA Tour is now gone
Because of the popularity growth of the game (their paraphrased words) members of LA, Canadian, and conditional Champions can no longer practice at TPC facilities.
This sucks for A LOT of players.

This is so powerful…
An injury robbed him of his full Tour status and he’s fighting & clawing to regain it.
The opportunities are scarce, which makes each moment in contention more consequential.
- More than 7 years since he last won on TOUR
- Leader after 18, 36 and 54 holes this week
- Lost the lead on the back nine Sunday
- Missed a short putt on 18 to force a playoff
