The Players Championship recently became the highest paying tournament on the PGA Tour and now they’ve unveiled a new trophy that will be presented to the winner along with his $2.25 million.

“Using a process called ‘electroforming,’ Tiffany & Co. and the PGA Tour began with the inspiration of the swinging golfer from the iconic PGA Tour logo,” the Tour said in a release. “Then, through sophisticated computer modelling, designers incorporated aspects of each of the 38 different winners of The Players – from Jack Nicklaus to Webb Simpson with elements of Phil Mickelson, Calvin Peete, Rickie Fowler, Fred Couples and Tiger Woods mixed in between.”
I’m not sure exactly how they got 38 golfers to look like one golfer, but whatever.
It’s a pretty sweet looking trophy and much better than this thing…
