Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy take on the PGA National, infamous for the Bear Trap
THE LEGEND OF THE BEAR TRAP
From the PGA National Website:
“The Bear Trap” on PGA National Resort & Spa’s The Champion course is an intimidating trifecta of holes – 15, 16 and 17 – known as among the most demanding 3-hole stretches on the PGA TOUR. Winners of the PGA TOUR Honda Classic and U.S. Senior PGA Championships have had to face its perils to come out with victory. How The Bear Trap is played invariably determines the winner of a tournament or even a match between PGA National’s resort guests.
“The Bear Trap” was coined in honor of the difficulty and as a tribute to PGA Tour legend Jack Nicklaus. A plaque and bear statue celebrate what has come to be known as one of the ultimate challenges a golfer can face for three consecutive holes. Play The Bear Trap at your peril. The legend grows every day.
"It should all be won or lost here" - Jack Nicklaus
