Unanimously accepted as “the fifth major,” THE PLAYERS Championship might not technically classify as a major, but that could not be deduced from the feel of the week, nor could it from more tangible aspects like the prodigiously strong field, purse ($10.5 million), and FedEx Cup points (600).
The crown jewel of May golf, THE PLAYERS is the PGA Tour’s flagship event, and is set to tee off this week for the 44th time, with the past 35 editions being held at the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, one of the most iconic locations in the game.
This year’s PLAYERS features a renovated TPC Sawgrass, which now boasts some new hazards, slick Bermuda grass greens, and a 12th hole with a contemporary aura.
