XTRATUF outfits the TPC Sawgrass grounds crew ahead of The Players Championship

XTRATUF, the original 100-percent waterproof boot trusted by those who live and work on and around the water, partners for the third year with The Players Championship by outfitting the entire agronomy team maintaining TPC Sawgrass in XTRATUF’s Ankle Deck Boot.

The Players Championship, taking place March 10-15 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., challenges professional golfers, as well as those responsible for maintaining the elite course.

“Regardless of the weather, the greens and fairways must be prepared to championship standards,” said Lucas Andrews, director of golf course maintenance operations. “With XTRATUF, our team is ready for anything. We can move confidently across the greens without worrying about damage or discomfort, even during long prep days.”

Used by a 220-person team dedicated to ensuring the course is in peak condition, XTRATUF is designed to be a durable and comfortable footwear option for those who work closest to the elements, according to the company. The Ankle Deck Boot’s non-marking Chevron outsole and slip-resistant construction provide grip and comfort in wet conditions. Its lightweight, flexible design is aimed toward professional in multiple industries, including golf course superintendents and maintenance crews.

“The same performance that’s trusted by commercial fishermen in Alaska is what makes XTRATUF perfect for the crew at TPC Sawgrass,” said Mike Roundhouse, general manager and vice president at XTRATUF. “These are professionals who depend on gear they can count on, and we’re proud to support them as they prepare one of golf’s most iconic courses.”
