The cadence of big-time golf events begins this week with the Players Championship, the PGA Tour’s flagship event. You know what’s next: the Masters in April, PGA in May, U.S. Open in June and British Open in July. Just glorious.
But first things first, and that’s the Tour handing out $25 million including $4.5 million to the winner at TPC Sawgrass.
Might Rory McIlroy bag a second Players? The world No. 2 hit just four fairways in his opening round but still shot 67 and was stalking the lead on Friday.
Jordan Spieth saw positive signs in the opening round in his ongoing comeback from wrist surgery, but Max Homa and Viktor Hovland had disastrous openers that will make for a short week in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Of course at TPC Sawgrass most eyes will be on the famous par-3 17th, where no good story goes untold and two more ace tales were added Wednesday: one from a caddie and another from a pro who followed with a swim.
No matter who wins, this edition of the Players marks the end of an era: the last with a field of 144 players.
Check back here after the final round for full results and payouts.
