Welcome to Power Rankings, a weekly feature on SI Golf from our partners at KeyCompete. This week the PGA Tour takes center stage with its flagship event, the Players Championship, where Scottie Scheffler will look to repeat as champion—and also win for the second straight week on Tour. No one has ever repeated as champion at TPC Sawgrass, so history is not on Scheffler's side.
2024 The Players Championship Preview
Designed by Pete Dye, TPC Sawgrass is a masterpiece that has challenged the world's best golfers since opening in 1980. The par-72 stretches over 7,189 yards, weaving through North Florida's natural wetlands. The 17th-hole island green is famous, but the entire course is renowned for its strategic complexity and psychological challenges. The Stadium Course, as it is officially known, underwent significant renovations in 2016 under Steve Wenzloff, which included work to the greens and the addition of new hazards.
