The Florida Swing continues in Ponte Vedra Beach this week, as the PGA Tour’s biggest stars have made their way to TPC Sawgrass’ Stadium Course for the 2024 Players Championship.
Defending champion Scottie Scheffler — winner of last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational in large part thanks to a new mallet-style putter — is hoping to become the first to ever win the Players in back-to-back years. He’ll have to fend off a field that includes 2019 winner Rory McIlroy, 2021 champion Justin Thomas, Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa and Jordan Spieth, among others.

One notable name missing from the tee sheet: Tiger Woods. There was hope the 15-time major champion would play in the Tour’s flagship event, but it seems like we won’t see him until the Masters.
TPC Sawgrass is a par-72 track measuring 7,275 yards.
While there is plenty of star power in the field, there are a few sleepers to keep an eye on this week.
