Pete Dye&rsquo;s Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass was built the other way around. Dye and his wife Alice took a flat, swampy parcel of Florida scrub near Ponte Vedra Beach in the late 1970s and more or less invented the land as they went, moving water and earth until they had a course that does something no piece of natural terrain ever quite manages, which is to get inside a player&rsquo;s head before he has hit a shot. It opened in 1980, became the permanent home of the Players Championship, and has been arguing with the best golfers in the world ever since.</p>
