The 1975 Tournament Players Championship was a golf tournament in Texas on the PGA Tour, held at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth. This was the second Tournament Players Championship;[2] led wire-to-wire and finished three strokes ahead of runner-up Dave Stockton.[1] [3] [4] Defending champion Jack Nicklaus opened with 67 but finished seventeen strokes behind, tied for eighteenth. Colonial Country Club recognises this tournament as also the 29th playing of the Colonial National Invitational, as the Tournament Players Championship was attached to established PGA Tour events.
The first two Tournament Players Championships were played in late summer; this edition was two weeks after the PGA Championship at Firestone, won by Nicklaus. The next TPC was held just six months later, in south Florida in late February, before the majors.
See main article: Colonial Country Club (Fort Worth). This was the only Tournament Players Championship held in Texas; the first was in Georgia in 1974 and it relocated to Florida in 1976. Colonial Country Club has hosted an annual event on the PGA Tour since 1946 and was the site of the U.S. Open in 1941.
