Originally an Arnold Palmer design, TPC Boston has been the host course since this event was first played in 2003. Once the Dell Technologies Championship became a part of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, it went under the knife and was changed quite a bit by Gil Hanse, along with consultant Brad Faxon.

Over the last 14 years, the winners have shot anywhere between 14-under to 22-under, which goes to show that scoring is everything this week. TPC Boston rewards aggressive play by featuring reachable par 5s and a couple of really short par 4s as well.

The 18th is one of those reachable par 5s, which through the years has always provided excitement – especially once on the green.

Last year, Rory McIlroy took down Paul Casey during Sunday’s final round, successfully overcoming a six-shot deficit to start the round. Although Rory adds to the list of long-hitters who have won here, length isn’t everything in Boston. The premium around here has always been on creating scoring opportunities.
