As the calendar turns to March, the eyes of the sporting world shift to our backyard. The Players Championship is returning to TPC Sawgrass from March 10–15, 2026, and the energy in Jacksonville is already electric. Whether you’re heading to the 17th Island Green to see the world’s best golfers or just looking to soak up the atmosphere at the Fan Shop, there is one major hurdle every local knows: parking.
Here is why a street-legal Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) is the ultimate tournament “hack” and how you can ride in style this spring.
The Logistics: Beat the Traffic and Park for Free
Tournament traffic in Ponte Vedra and Jax Beach can be a headache, and official parking passes often sell out weeks in advance (with prices reaching $60+ per day).
However, The Players Championship has a long-standing tradition that favors the locals: Complimentary Golf Cart Parking.
- Park for Free: Spectators can drive their golf carts to Lot 4E (located inside the Gates of TPC Sawgrass off PGA TOUR Blvd).
- Front-Row Access: You skip the massive general parking lots and the long shuttle lines, driving right up to the tournament gates.
Why “Street Legal” Matters
To get from Jacksonville Beach or the surrounding neighborhoods to TPC Sawgrass, your cart needs to be more than just a course cruiser, it needs to be a Street-Legal LSV. Unlike standard golf carts, an LSV is registered, titled, and equipped with safety features like turn signals, mirrors, and seat belts, allowing you to legally drive on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less.
Our Top Pick for the Tournament: The 2026 Honor G1 4+2 LSV
If you’re looking to make an entrance this year, we recommend the 2026 Honor Street Legal 6-Passenger LSV.
This isn’t just a golf cart; it’s a luxury neighborhood cruiser. With its Pearl White exterior and room for six, it’s the perfect “party bus” for your group.
- Lithium Powered: No need to worry about the battery dying after a long day at the course.
- Premium Comfort: High-back seats and a smooth suspension make the ride down A1A as enjoyable as the tournament itself.
- Space for the Crew: The 4+2 seating configuration means you can bring the whole family (and all your tournament gear).
2026 Tournament Highlights
This year is shaping up to be one for the history books:
- Military Appreciation Day (March 10): Don’t miss the ceremony and the concert featuring Ludacris on the 17th hole!
- The Food: Local favorites like Mojo’s BBQ and Bonefish Grill will be back in the food court.
- The Field: World-class pros will be competing for one of the biggest purses in golf.
