The PRO Tour heads next to PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., the site of numerous tournaments in the past.
And numerous meltdowns.
We saw the damage the course can inflict in last month's Cognizant Classic when Ireland's Shane Lowry, the 2019 British Open champion, found the water on 16 and 17, the final two holes of The Champion course's treacherous three-hole "Bear Trap" re-designed by Jack Nicklaus in 1990.
Lowry, who had enjoyed a three-stroke lead, double bogeyed both and lost the tournament by two.
So, I reached out to some tour pros from the past. I asked: What advice can you give to the field?
Here are their thoughts about PGA National:

Your drive and your second shot are the most important part. Keep it in the fairway. Even if you have to hit a longer shot into the green, that is the best option. The left is good on all the holes in the Bear Trap, depending on how good you are with bunker shots or chipping. You can make a par from the left. You can't make a par from the right.

These guys are terrific athletes but more stuff happens on the golf course than it does in any other sport. So playing their own game and their own mental game is 90% of it. To me, it's one of the best laid-out golf courses I've played. And it is so different every day. You can birdie a hole two times in a week and get it to another day and think, "Don't touch this. Put it over there, get your two putts and get the hell out."

Almost every hole is a disaster waiting to happen. Holes 15, 16, and 17 are brutal. And, if it's windy, I don't know what you do. It was always a tremendous battle for me. I never played freely. Always felt like I was constrained.
The key, obviously, off the tee is to keep it in play. The problem, as much as anywhere I have ever played, is that there is no bailout. You can make 7s and 8s as fast as greased lightning. One of the most challenging courses I've ever played.

This time of year in Florida tends to get a little windy. The two things they have to know are how to negotiate wind and play defensively.
When I watch them play, they rip it. It's going to be a little harder for them to think about hitting a 3-wood off the tee or laying up when there is water.

Be prepared for a long day. There are no real letup holes. I had only maybe six holes I thought I could birdie; normally it would be like 10 or 12.
Have a game plan for how you want to play holes as if there weren't any pins. Don't get suckered into missing it on the short side. It's a hard course to get it up and down. Get used to hitting fairways and greens the best you can and try to make enough birdies to offset the bogeys.
