After all the drama away from the course over a potential breakaway league, the PGA Tour season truly kicks into action this week with the return of the Players Championship, one of its most esteemed and lucrative events.
With less than a month until The Masters, all of the world’s top ten players will be competing at TPC Sawgrass, including defending champion Justin Thomas.
In fact, 47 out of the world’s top 50 players will be in attendance, with Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau the two most notable absentees.
Having won two of the last three PGA Tour events, Scottie Scheffler could even snatch the world No 1 ranking from Jon Rahm, who remains the favourite heading into the tournament. Viktor Hovland is a close second, though, after three wins in his last eight starts worldwide.
