The TPC Sawgrass is pretty short considering some of the new behemoths being played on Tour lately.

Or no need?

In twenty five years Sawgrass has gone from futuristic goofy golf to a nostalgic track that challenges all types of tour player without adding 400 yards.  Pretty quick turnaround.

I agree, however I think a few new back tees are in order to create some legitimate long par 4's...like on 18.
the interviewer asked beck how he felt "being the bob dylan of the 90's" and beck quitely responded "i actually feel more like the bon jovi of the 60's"
