PGA TOUR Studios | Foster + Partners

PGA TOUR Studios expands and consolidates the TOUR’s operations in Ponte Vedra Beach. The state-of-the-art production studio redefines how the company creates and delivers content to golf fans across the globe. The building is located just south of THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass and positioned directly alongside of PGA TOUR headquarters building, which was also designed by Foster + Partners.

Reflecting the design of the headquarters, the studio building features generous colonnades on the south and east elevations and a large overhanging roof, which shades the internal spaces. Glazing on the south and east facades generates panoramic views of the water and surrounding campus. A landscaped pathway directly connects the studio and the headquarters, allowing all employees and visitors to share the campus’ world class amenities. A refined material palette of white metal, concrete, and glass reinforces the connection between the two buildings.

PGA TOUR Studios features eight production rooms, eight audio control rooms and seven LED-outfitted studios. Split over three levels, the facility also contains the largest golf footage library in the world and a café with additional outdoor seating.

The completion of the campus has helped the TOUR achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) BD+C Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, due to its sustainable design and operation with specific approaches to energy conservation, water use reduction and enhanced indoor air quality.
