Still not sure?

The Champion course at PGA National has seen some legendary moments in PGA Tour history. In 2012, Rory held off a chasing Tiger, who’s final round of 62 was only enough for 2nd place, as Rory sealed his 3rd PGA Tour win. In 2025, Jake Knapp caught fire in benign conditions with a remarkable 59, proving that the Bear Trap can be conquered.
