THE PLAYERS solidifies deal with Uber on ride-sharing option to tournament

Jacksonville, Fl. — Fans will no longer have to worry about traffic and parking now that THE PLAYERS Championship and Uber have announced a partnership to help fans get to and from TPC Sawgrass May 8th -13th safely.

"As THE PLAYERS continues to grow in popularity and size, one of our primary goals is to make every fan's experience at THE PLAYERS as seamless, fun and safe as possible," says Jared Rice, executive director of THE PLAYERS.

Uber will have a designated pick-up and drop off area at the 880 A1A North, Ponte Vedra shopping plaza and fans will take a short shuttle to the Couples Entry (Shuttle ATP). Riders leaving THE PLAYERS will take a short shuttle back from the Couples Entry to the Uber pick-up location. The shuttle location is outside the Couples Entry, meaning fans will be picked and dropped off at the same place.

2. Enter Destination: THE PLAYERS Championship
3. Arrive at 880 A1A North, Ponte Vedra Beach shopping plaza
