The 2024 Players Championship is off and running at TPC Sawgrass’ famed Stadium Course in Ponta Vedra Beach, Florida, and this year’s event marks the 50th edition of the PGA Tour’s flagship event. A $25 million purse is up for grabs and the winner will receive $4.5 million, as well as 750 FedEx Cup points.
The Stadium Course is No. 1 in Florida on Golfweek’s Best list of public-access layouts in each state. It also ranks No. 23 on Golfweek’s Best list of modern courses in the U.S. and No. 10 among all resort courses in the U.S.
Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion and enters the week off a win at last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.
