Sawgrass 17

This painting captures one of golf’s most unforgettable stages: the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, known simply as the Island Green. It’s a place where nerves are tested, legends are made, and even the calmest swing can unravel in a heartbeat.
The green floats like a target in the middle of the water—surrounded on all sides and framed by a wooden bulkhead that feels more like a spotlight than a safety net. The flagstick stands tall in the center, daring players to aim true. Reflections ripple across the surface, mirroring the trees and sky above, while manicured fairways and bunkers stretch out in the background under a clear blue sky.

It’s a scene that’s both beautiful and brutal. I wanted to capture that tension—the quiet before the shot, the stillness that holds so much weight. This piece is a tribute to the drama, precision, and poetry of golf’s most famous short hole.
