XTRATUF, the original 100% waterproof boot trusted by those who live and work on and around the water, has partnered for the third year with The Players Championship. The entire agronomy team maintaining TPC Sawgrass wore XTRATUF’s iconic Ankle Deck Boot. The Players Championship, held March 10–15, 2026 at the legendary TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, challenges professional golfers, as well as those who maintain one golf’s most prestigious courses.
“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.”
In outfitting a 220-person grounds crew team dedicated to ensuring the course is in peak condition, XTRATUF has proven itself the most durable and comfortable footwear for those who work closest to the elements. The Ankle Deck Boot’s non-marking Chevron outsole and slip-resistant construction provide grip and comfort in wet conditions. Its lightweight, flexible design has made it a trusted choice among professional anglers, harbor workers, and now, the crews behind one of golf’s most respected tournaments.
“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.”
