Spain at THE PLAYERS

text size

Spain has been represented by just four golfers in the history of THE PLAYERS Championship. Seve Ballesteros made his impact felt early with a tie for third in just his second PLAYERS start. Jose Maria Olazabal has challenged for the title a couple of times, although Miguel Angel Jimenez hasn't fared as well at TPC Sawgrass. Then, after knocking on the door in 2007, Sergio Garcia finally broke through last year, becoming the first Spanish player to win THE PLAYERS.
