The 1983 Tournament Players Championship was a golf tournament in Florida on the PGA Tour, held March 24–28 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, southeast of Jacksonville. It was the tenth Tournament Players Championship.
Heavy rains on Thursday delayed the start until Friday, with the final two rounds planned for Sunday.[2] Thunderstorms on Sunday morning allowed only the third round to be completed,[3] and the final round was held on Monday.[4]
Hal Sutton, age 24, came from four strokes back with a final round 69 to win his second tour event, one stroke ahead of runner-up Bob Eastwood.[4][5] Later in the year, Sutton won his only major title, the PGA Championship in August at Riviera.
Defending champion Jerry Pate withdrew before the start, due to a lingering neck injury.[6][7]
Sutton became the youngest champion of the TPC, formerly Mark Hayes, 27 in 1977. It was only for a year, as Fred Couples was five months younger at his win in 1984.
