Players World of Sports Hilton Head has sold sports gear on the island since 1982, and since 2023 it has been owned by two local families, the Dayes of Bluffton and the Yakes of Hardeeville. Its shop at Shelter Cove Towne Centre centres on tennis and pickleball: racquets, paddles, balls, bags, court shoes and apparel from brands such as IBKÜL, Sofibella, Lucky in Love and Dona Jo.
