After 29 years at Amelia Island Plantation in Amelia Island, Florida, the tournament
moves in 2009 to its new home at Sawgrass Country Club just 20 minutes Southeast
of Jacksonville in beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Situated on 1,250 acres
adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, the beauty of Sawgrass Country Club and
Ponte Vedra Beach is unmatched.
Ranked among the nation’s 50 best tennis destinations by Tennis magazine,
Sawgrass Racquet Club is transformed during tournament week to accommodate
the 45,000+ tennis fans looking to experience world-class women’s professional
tennis at this intimate venue. Players compete on three match courts including a
3,800+ seat Stadium Court which brings fans as close to the action as possible.
