Once again this year, THE PLAYERS Championship hosted a forum of experts on an issue important to people throughout the community. On Friday, March 3, a panel discussion on “Driving Dialogue for Mental Health” was presented by Optum at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse.

Mental wellbeing has become a focal point for many in the wake of the pandemic, which arguably compounded pre-existing psychological and emotional challenges.

The club also honored Tabitha Furyk, cofounder of the Jim and Tabitha Furyk Foundation and the Rotary’s 2020 Rock of the Community award recipient. Due to the pandemic, the club was unable to hold its Mineral City Celebration and honor Furyk in 2020. However, the club still directed support toward Furyk’s charity of choice, Alex’s Dragonfly Coalition, which strives to destigmatize and raise awareness about mental health.
