Which hole has your blood pressure up the most picking between these two holes and playing in front of the standard crowd at each them:
The 16th at Waste Management

Island Green at the Players

I guess the island green for me. No room for error. And if you miss, that penalty shot is going to be pucker on that swing.

Island green easily.

WM I can hit a slice or a hook and deflect it off the stands back into play!

17 easily…you can hit a good shot and still end up in water. Lots of swirling winds, a firm green. I will say the front left pin placement makes for a fairly simple shot.

I would LOVE to hit that shot on 16 with a full gallery making noise, which is weird since I'm the type who can get anxious playing alone on my home course.

So yeah. Island green.

No idea about WM #16 but I have played 17 at Sawgrass a week after the tournament with the stands up. Your blood pressure goes up as you walk up 16 and look across the water. Then on the tee even at 132 yards it looks like you are trying to stop the ball on a tabletop.

100% the island at Sawgrass. It's hard to do worse than bogey at WM 16.

Neither. I've hit enough people with errant golf balls that I no longer feel pressure lol


I'm a bad golfer…

Just watching guys tee off of #18 at Augusta with that narrow alley gets my blood pressure up.

Not exactly the same, but I've hit the green 8 out of my last 10 times at the Island 17 replica hole at Tour 18 Humble. I think that would be easier than hitting in front of thousands of fans.
