Watch every tee shot at TPC Sawgrass’ island 17th hole in one amazing GIF

Here’s a cool ProTracer mash-up of shots into the most famous par-3 on the PGA Tour.

Golf nerds who tune into the PGA Tour regularly will tell you that ProTracer is one of the best things to happen to the way golf is broadcast on TV. It’s a perfect way to show just how inadequate you are at hitting the same shots, or illustrate some of the ugliest shots from the best players in the world.

So it was particularly cool to see the PGA Tour and Golf Channel mash up every single tee shot at the par-3 17th from Thursday’s first round at The Players. The wind was up and 21 balls plunged into the water -- all of them short of that front pin location. Fortunately for Brooks Koepka, who put two in the drink on his way to a quadruple bogey, the GIF didn’t trace balls from the drop zone.
